the dragon and the duck


by dog e relaford



what a terrible life you lead
said the dragon to the duck
never sailing above the earth
but just flopping around in the muck

who are you to say that
the duck carefully chose his reply
there are many things upon the earth
but mostly emptiness in the sky

what is wrong with emptiness?
the dragon sincerely sneered
you have a philistine love of detail
just as i feared

the duck declined to argue further
but calmly walked away
the dragon flew away alone
though he had so much more to say
