Poetry: Nonsense

Mad Duck Named Duck........

This is my strange little story
So weird, it splits your brain unstuck,
For best results, Un-focus your thoughts
And follow the journey of Mad Duck named Duck.

Born on the Milky Way
Naked and green,
A scowl on his lip
Ever so mean.

He jumped from star to star
And free floated through space,
A smile didn't cross
His grumpy little face.

He caught a Jet stream to town


And headed to a bar,
Too many drinks, he waddled
I hit him with my car.

Beaks broken promises
I filled with sparkling sorrow,
His heart would not jump to a beat
He would not live to see tomorrow.

I picked him up and got him stuffed
And put a motor in his gut,
A coin slot in his side
And a start switch in his butt.

I took him to a mall
And put him in the middle,
I sat on the ground
And played my silver fiddle.

Kids gathered in a crowd
And pumped quarters in,
Mad Duck shot to life
And trembled from within.

He soared the Milky Way
And jumped from star to star,
Children screamed with joy
As he took them oh so far.

A key unwinds its change
And the cheering subsides,
Duck rattles to a standstill
"Please mom, just one more ride."

As the day nears end
Duck still has a frown,
I think that tomorrow
I'll take him downtown.

This is my story
Of how I met Mad duck,
He didn't live for very long
But at least I made a buck......
