Quackers

What do ducks get up to all day? Sure, there’s the obvious stuff that they need to take care to survive during the day, like feeding and grooming themselves; but other than that it must be a pleasant life to just float down the river all day exploring the estuary. They’re natural hunters; and never need to stock up on food by hiding it in nests. Maybe they secretly carry messages up and down stream; or quack them out for fellow ducks to hear. It could be a secret message for a new world order or simply what’s top of the charts in the duck world. But there’s never such a thing as a rushed duck unless there’s bread involved. They’re not particularly hunted apart from the Chinese and pillow stuffers, and I suppose they can prepare themselves fairly well. So I suppose it must be quite content to be a duck. Either that or I’m quackers.
