The ducks look so lonely
spotlighted rockstars
aglow under the abendrot sky
centre stage
but lonely...
The gloom is evident
they are performers after all!
Life without entertaining others
is just empty for them.
Even the view is not pretty!
Who in heaven's name would like to keep staring at their friend's butt all day long?!?
It's not like they can turn their heads or anything
Agreed the butts are kind of a part of their permanent view, but there is so much more to go with that normally!
For starters there are other butts,
you know, little butts clad in bright colors
most caked with dirt
Then there are the tiny arms and
smiling faces attached somewhere above those butts
The laughs and shouts
and the utter exhilaration
their audience feels because of them!
That's what makes their lives worthwhile
You, as an observer may think they are kinda stupid
You know going round and round, following each other's butts but not really going anywhere
But, they have a jolly good time
pandering to all the innocence and
even naughtiness surrounding them, riding them
It does get dizzy sometimes when the
the lil ones are high on sugar or high on just plain old life
Those are times when a quick rest is no more an option
Ohh but they would give their right arm (if they had one) for those days now!
Never before did it bother them
that they had wings but couldn't fly
But no small butts land on them anymore
no sweaty, sticky palms coat their wings,
no one's slapping their butts to get them moving
no laughter, no shrieks, no more dizzy spells
Oh how lucky are those humans
who can move all their limbs and look around
Getting to see so much more than each other's butts!
