do ducks quack?  ( ?kcauq skcud od  )

…

 

do ducks quack

or is that laughter?

 

larking mallards

sprites ‘n’ eiders

 

scrapes ‘n’ scoters

yes, they echo

 

so the sound goes

bouncing round so

like a ball

in rubber hallways

as the swans bob

& the moorhens

never cluck

yet peck in order

but the jigsaw

shrews are loosened

is it christmas?

where’s atlantis?

why do poodles

rhyme with noodles?

is it raining

frogs on saturn?

come on ducks

& share the joke

…
