It sucks being a duck.
The thing about us ducks is we are birds of a feather that flock together. A good flock is what we all desire in life.
I wish I could strut when I walk instead of this tiresome waddle we have been blessed with.
And of course being a flock there is never any privacy. There’s always someone poking their beak into your business if not your food.
Ducks are great gossips you know. We know each other inside and out. There’s a hundred different ways in which we communicate. The humble quack, the demonstrative quack quack and of course the hysterical quack, quack quack.
And if that’s limiting consider our appearance, we all look like the same duck. Though I do have my eye on Mavis, she is such a sassy one, her quack well it really gets me where I like to be get.
Quaaaaaack!!!!!! I’m on fire!!!!!

Hahaha! That Mavis sure is a looker! Better get her attention before the other ducks beat you to it! LOL! I enjoyed your story Michael!
Thank Joy, so you noticed Mavis too??? What a keen eye you have….
LOL! Yes, she did stand out from all the rest. :D:D
You got me laughing in the end 😀 😀 I do hope ‘The Ducky on Fire’ gets his Mavis fast 😀
i am sure he will waddle over, fluff his masculine feathers and have her gasping for more….lol
This was so fun to read! And educational as well. I never knew ducks gossip! Now I just need to understand them then I can learn all the dirty secrets of everyone I know.
Hi Frederick I found this comment in spam so you have been rescued. I was referring to the carefree way in which she was walking….
You’ll have to pay close attention…lol
Cute and funny story. 😊 Like ducks, somewhere along life’s journey, we can find that special someone!
One hopes so…thanks for stopping by.
“Ducks are great gossips” –> 😀 So I’m not the only one who thinks this.
“Though I do have my eye on Mavis, she is such a sassy one, her quack well it really gets me where I like to be get.” –> XD This is so funny!
Thanks for the laughs and the fun read. Great voice!
Thanks Izzy, happy to give you a laugh.
I’m sure if a duck could talk, that would be his voice. ‘There’s always someone poking their beak into your business if not your food.’ – brilliant line! Cute, funny, all round enjoyable story 🙂
Thanks Sonya I appreciate your kind comment.
You went complete quackers with this one, Michael 😀
I certainly didn’t duck that did I….lol
Haha. That’s cute.
Thanks Mandi.
It’s a bad pun about an entertaining story (tho I missed which cutie was Mavis) — you “quack” me up!
Mavis? The good looking one….you see her, wow she is a goer……lol
I can’t resist “nudge, nudge, wink, wink”
I LOVE it hope he gets that hot Mavis
Oh I am sure he will, after all she’s irresistable.
Adorable! this was a fun read, Michael:)
Thank you Oliana glad you found it so…
I could hear this “ducky” voice in my head – as I read your piece – chuckling at all the best moments – and I think you’ve personified “quackers” very well indeed. Hilarious! XD
Thanks MJ good to know I could make you chuckle.
Lol that was a fun one
Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed it…

Thanks Louise it was a fun task to write…
What a really great story! I love the humour all the way through and the last part about the delectably sassy Mavis is superb. 🙂
