 Contemporary poetry by Dan Donlan

THE EASTER EGG


A mallard duck fell from the sky
A man of passion am I
So I nursed it back to health
For love no earthly wealth
One day I went to the yard
Didn't have to look hard
A huge white egg lay in straw
Wife showed it to her paw
Said duck eggs unlimited nutrition
I thought, is that true or his fiction
Each day one large white egg
How was I to know someone was pulling my leg?
Easter morning three eggs in a basket pink purple yellow
That father in law of mine a humorous fellow
A flight of Mallards one day flew over the house
My duck looked at me, at them, flew away looking for a spouse

The moral of the story is---and
shouldn't all stories for the
young have a moral? You shouldn't
put all your eggs in one basket
Happy Easter honey from the Easter bunny
