Dark Serious Duck
by Lyle Berry (Age: 61)
copyright 09-13-2001


Age Rating: 18 to 127

 
When you’re drinking and trying to get drunk;
When you’re thinking the worst you have thunk;
When you’re sinking - but haven’t quite sunk;
When Life’s stinking - your world’s in a funk;

Just remember some slob has it worse;
Don’t be anxious to climb in that hearse;
Some days suck that’s a part of our curse;
Come on - lift your glass! - sing this verse:

Don’t become a Dark Serious Duck;
We all have those streaks of bad luck!
So laugh while you’ve breath;
Flip the finger at Death;
Don’t become a Dark Serious Duck!

With cops winking and calling you punk;
Friends finking - there’s drugs in your trunk;
While they’re inking your fingers (the skunks);
When you’re slinking as low as you’ve slunk;

Just remember some slob has it worse;
Don’t be anxious to climb in that hearse;
Some days suck - that’s a part of our curse;
Come on - off your ass! - sing this verse:

Don’t become a Dark Serious Duck;
We all have those streaks of bad luck!
So laugh while you’ve breath;
Flip the finger at Death;
Don’t become a Dark Serious Duck!

I love it! Very cute, and catchy! I would have never though to call my audience "ducks", but for the sake of the rhythm and rhyme scheme, it works. How very, very original. ^_^ Excellent piece!

This is not only a fun read it has a very good message. Your form here looks like it would be fun to try and someday I may give it a shot. Thanks, Anthony

Life, as bad as it can get, is always worth living! And tho it can always get worse, it can always get better as well. And tho there will always be those better off, there are also those who have it a heck of a lot worse! Amen! I know... I know!

Yeah, there is not enough laughter in the world today, no wonder, but I will try not to be a dark serious duck, I love this, made me smile when I was not in the mood to.
