We Can't Duck Humor When We Talk About Us

One thing about us: We can't duck humor...even humor about a duck

Duck humor caught up to me at the grocery store the other day. The lady checking out our groceries perked up when I mentioned some of the critter humor stories we have on this website...wait. More about that later.

Since this is an About Us page, a bit about me (my wife, Pam, gets an entire, separate page). I'm an old ex-cowboy from Montana, currently residing in Colorado. I've done everything to make a living from pro rodeo to underground mining and truck driving, with periods of white collar work mixed in.

Enough. I can't wait to tell our friend's duck humor story. Or maybe it's cat humor, but anyway....

=================================================================

We were kicking back one fine afternoon
When we heard the tomcat meow
He's a good old boy, but why would he
Be making that racket now?
We checked outside and could not believe
The sight we saw that day
Old Tom was herding a baby mallard duck
Up the center of our driveway

He never laid a paw on the little bird
Just kept him moving on up the line
To the people the cat knew would give it some help
To this day that mallard's doing fine
He learned to swim in our big bathtub
Now his life is happy routine and habit
We think he's even grateful to the duck-herding tom
Though his best friends are a turtle and a rabbit

We still get puzzled every now and then
Wondering what it really had to take
For a little baby duck to get anywhere near our house
Which is far any river, pond, or lake
But the funniest thing we can remember to this day
Wish we'd had the camera close nearby
Was looking out the window at a duck-herding tom
A furry cowboy bringing Duckie up the drive!

Publisher's note: Well, that's about it. On the other hand, I probably shouldn't "duck" the slightly tongue-in-cheek thought that if I'd been the Devil himself at some time in the past, it might explain a lot of things....

The Devil In Blue Jeans

A page About Me, which in this case includes a bit of duck-and-devil humor typical of the stories that just seem to come to us. I can't wait to see what my wife, Pam, comes up with for HER page.

After all, during our three years homesteading near Craig, Montana, brought her plenty of material to work with, from fighting wildfire to the luxury of air conditioning a tiny survival cabin--doesn't SOUND funny, but you had to be there.

Thanks for reading,
