The men blaze the trail
boldly go forward
willing to risk
to achieve the destination.
And so today
mallard male zips across the highway
boldly flapping, barely
missing the VW missile
travelling 100 km/hr.
Not so fortunate his lady friend
flapping five feet behind.
Ladies
sometimes it is unwise
to blindly follow your mate.

Ouch!!
I know. There was a thunk as she hit, but the sky didn’t fill with feathers, so who knows. Maybe she didn’t break her neck. Maybe she will go on to lay many duck eggs, supervise many ducklings, and regale them in the evenings with the story of how her inattention *almost* got her killed.
But probably not.
LOL. I like that story much better than then splattered duck.
Sad to report sighting of blob of duck on the side of highway on my return home.
RIP pretty duck.
Meeeeow, sad face. Poor thing- moral of your story noted!
Be wise!
Sad story.
Yes.
A lesson worth teaching, bravo!!!
lol. True
Aw, poor duck!
Yes. 😦
That is amazing! Yet, sad 😦
Iknow. I felt very sad as I continued on my way!
Amen! Ladies, do not blindly follow your mate. Humans, don’t blindly follow anyone!
Preach it!
Yeah…. Applies to us all. Even to us men and the Alpha Men!
😉
ah, great 😉
Glad you like it.
AMAZING!
thanks
Pretty clever. Peace.
Thanks.
A moral behind the poem! Nice one! Do hope the duck is okay…
Highly unlikely…
