Duck

Have you heard

About the bird

It's not a bird

It's a Mandarin duck

In Central Park lake

His plumage is gorgeous

A male duck is a drake

He wants to forge/suss

Out a relationship

With a female Mandarin duck

But he's out of luck

There's no female duck

Poor Mandarin duck

I mean Mandarin drake

He has no one to "bleep''

Must be hard to take

He must get down

Hey, down from a duck!

Ok, now I'm stuck

Better look both ways

Or get hit by a truck

Then I'm outta luck

Like the duck

I mean the drake

In the lake

In Central Park

Get the drake a hen! Surely

Get the drake a hen! Surely the park's authority have a heart or at least a functional duty of care... or an operations manual that's legally enforceable.

P.S. 
Is that the image of THE Central Park drake himself?

Yes, that’s the drake..

Yes, that's the drake, though I don't know if he's still there since this was done six years ago. It does bring to mind a joke, however.

A woman walks into a bar carrying a duck

A drunk at the bar 'Hey, where'd you get the pig?'

'It's not a pig, it's a duck'

'I was talking to the duck'

Thank you for your comment!
