So i was listening to the newest album by the band Death Cab for Cutie, the song "Talking Bird" in particular, when i realized i could re-write the song to be about my ducks. I do play guitar and occasionally will do an open mike. SO I'm thinking next time, I will have to sing this song, with my newly written lyrics about my ducks- (it would be a bit longer, more verses, than the original song, but that's okay... My ducks would demand more verses anyways... lol) oh my runner ducks How you have the bestest of luck You run fast to get your treats like your brains can't keep up with your feet You're free to live the good life because you're kept in a pen inside sometimes i let you run around diapered in my front room It catches your poo, so i don't have to clean up after you Your life is hard no doubt When your pampered living in my house There's no barn living for you Only a condo downtown will do Every single day I put you in my tub to bathe You're pretty princess feet never even touch the concrete You refuse to go outside, unless it's 72 degress You quack relentlessly when you know i have corn and peas I bend to your beckoning will When you're hungry and want a refill even when I realize there was food in your bowl the whole time You're smart enough to see You can quack to manipulate me i give in to you, to suit your all your ducky needs You wear warm coats in winter time And in summer the AC goes on high You command with a quack When it's time for me to rub your backs When your hear the microwave ding you know that i am cooking something As soon as i take my seat You eye the food i am going to eat And you won't go away, Until i give you a treat. for you, it's only the best You won't settle for anything less Oh how i get ridiculed If i don't do what you want me to Oh my runner ducks though your feathers molt and you run amuck I'll love you all your days with all your demanding ducky ways It's all here for you, you know I am your slave It's all here for you, Victor and Ming Mei
i don't think i could ever get rd of them, they expect to be treated like royalty now... lol. My fault, I totally spoiled them. I'm 99% sure they believe they are entitled people... One time i brought my ducks to Allaboutdemchicks' for a visit with her ducks (we gave her Sammy and Peter, two ducks who weren't the "house pet" kind). Victor was super confused as to what those other ducks were doing outside, in a POOL, ON THE DIRT?!?! And Ming mei walked over to me and sat in my lap as i she was saying, "Oh heckie no, I am not going over there by those vermin! I'm sitting her with the people." Whenever my boyfriend gets in the duck's pen to clean or jokes by doing something the ducks normally do, I'll say, "Haha, you're a duck now!" to which his response is, "I don't want to be a duck! I want to be a person like Ming Mei!" lol...
yeah he's a good guy... He single-handedly cleaned their whole pen last time because i had a ton of stuff to do. He bought a steam cleaner and a shopvac because he wanted it to be easier, and it is... I thoght about throwing a line in there about how they think food magicall appears from his hands because he's always giving them treats
