A Duck’s Tail: A New Leash on Life

This is ridiculous. A duck on a leash? I’m mortified.

Daffy and Donald called offering their sympathies. Then they quacked up. I would have hung up, but I wanted advice. They said I should get tough. But if not, I should let it go like water off a duck’s back. They quacked up again. That’s when I hung up.

She thinks it’s hysterical because she’s named me, “Soup”. When she tells people my name, they laugh and ask, “Oh, like duck soup?” or “Is he the first course?”

Tonight I will avenge myself. I will tie her up with duck tape. I will be like a firequacker up her you-know-what. I will be so fowl that she won’t know what feather hit her. And by the quack of dawn someone will have to take her to a duck-tor. Or maybe, I will just ab-duck-her and hold her for ransom.
