: Duck World 9 by Bill Schott



It's a matter of reflection

once a duck notes the defection

of the fellow feathered friends

who've taken to the wing


There's the clicks of shotgun barrels

that won't be shooting at some sparrows

there'll be overkill of pellets

no escaping such a thing


So in this final breath

he will contemplate his death

and the time he did that pheasant

in the early days of Spring
