Quack quack

by James McLaughlin

I saw a giraffe in the supermarket I’m
sure it was a giraffe coz it walked like a duck
and sounded like a duck and you know
what ‘they’ says – if a giraffe walks like a duck
and sounds like a duck going quack quack
then it must be a duck -sorry a giraffe
but then again how can it be a giraffe if
it looked like a duck and sounded like a
duck and had a yellow bill and wings
and people were feeding it bread from
the bread aisle and the store detective
had to step in and stop the commotion.
But I’m sure it was a giraffe coz it was
long and slender with huge great eye
lashes and orange and brown marking -
that ducks don’t have – well I don’t
think they  have as I’ve never got that
close to a duck – coz they are kind of
timid creatures – but it certainly was a duck
coz as I’ve said it walked like a duck
and talked like a duck and sounded
like a duck and as you know every one
agrees if something looks like a duck
and sounds like a duck then it
certainly is a duck even if it is a giraffe
or a potato scone or a pork pie
So even if you see a giraffe in the super
market then you can bet your life that
you are seeing things coz that giraffe
is in fact a ducking duck.
