I wish I were a duck on a bright autumn day
with a clear pond to swim in whenever I may.
Under a fountain that keeps blue water so clean,
I’d float calmly with friends (you should see some of them preen!)
Or tuck my head neath my wing for a nap,
conserving duck energy when the cold snaps.
But...the water is cold where the ducks take a dip!
And they don’t eat from china or use knives and forks
Never a hot cup of coffee for that bodily warmth
No warm fuzzy slippers, cosy sweaters to wear
So being myself is just fine I declare!
“The privilege of a lifetime is being who you are.”
~ Joseph Campbell
