    The Duck that REALLY REALLY REALLY Loves food!

    Upon a Monday,
    Maybe a Sunday,
    A Duck sat quietly by the river
    He was thinking as he usually does
    About how delicious food is in his tummy

    He liked the bugs and the occasional plants
    But his favorite… oh boy
    HIS FAVORITE!!!
    His favorite was seeds that the visitors bought by.

    He had no idea where it came from
    No idea what it was
    It was magical food of deliciousness
    And he always needed more!

    So on this Monday
    Maybe a Sunday
    This duck sat by the river
    When all of a sudden a girl sat down
    And pulled out the bag he recognized

    OH MY GOSH!
    Said the Duck
    OH BOY OH BOY!
    He knew what time it was

    He rushed over in a waddle
    Other ducks followed
    And the girl scooped up the food
    And sprinkled it all over

    “I’m Sera” said the girl
    With a wonderful smile
    As the duck ate the food
    With his friends following

    The duck said back in an excited way
    “I REALLY REALLY REALLY LOVE FOOD!”
    And the Girl said
    “That is a wonderful quack you have!”
    They couldn’t understand each other
    But then…
    Kindness is its own language!

    Sera fed them all till she ran out of food
    She smiled her goodbyes
    And the Duck when back to the River

    “I really really really love food said the duck
    And you know, That Sera was pretty neat to.
    I hope I see her again
    She has the best food
