Yesterday early evening, david and i walked down our front walk, with the intention of cruising around in my used 1994 fire engine red miata convertible...(it's very choice, i highly recommend if given the opportunity, to drive one) when there was this godawful noise in the yard beside us..looking over, i saw what usually we only see when our front yard is a lake, i saw three ducks....two gorgeous males (of course) and a dull colored female (what is wrong with this picture?).. the two males were chasing the female around and around, biting or nipping at her behind...she was quacking and running from them, but they kept in hot pursuit..she ended up flying over to the other side of our house, where a third male joined in the fray...well david was trying to show me how to put the top down in the convertible, but i was more concerned with what was occurring in my side yard...was this rape?? was the female teasing these males? were they courting her???? a dog barked, and one male duck flew off....then the next thing i see, is that same male came flying directly at me..i was thinking..do i look like a duck???? well we went for our drive...when we returned the ducks were gone...later as we were sitting on our front porch reading and having a few snortfulls...i looked across the road, and on the other side of the creek bank, that poor female was being chased yet again.. we live in a town, not out in the country, but we live along a park, with a creek that runs through the town....is there such a thing as duck rape? a gang duck rape if you will? or hmm is this a weird form of mating...and she was choosing which stud she liked best?? hmm maybe someone could come up with a duck rap about duck rape...ok lame joke...
