my favorite non-domesticated animals, a short story, interspersed with poetry, by uncle milt
iii. duck
one time my wife came home from work and left the garage door open. about an hour later, as she was watering our garden in the front our sprawling estate, she heard some funny noises coming from the garage. she went to investigate, and a family (minus mom) of baby ducks marched out of the garage in an army-style single file line. they hung out for about an hour or two on the front porch while my wife and our neighbor looked all around the neighborhood for the mom and/or dad. finally her and one of my neighbors scooped them up into a box and took them to the schuylkill river, which peacefully meanders nearby. to this day we have no idea how they got onto our cul-de-sac, or where the rest of their family was. i hope they all didn't die.
awwww! here's a picture i took of baby ducks at duke gardens.
