Duck Becomes Lawyer, Specializes in Pond Disputes and Beak-Related Assault Cases

Ma gasped, “That duck can litigate?”
Pa said, “He sued me over bait.”
Lou got fined for splashing loud,
While Granny stood in witness crowd.
Duck paced court in glossy shoes,
Quacked objections, read pond news.
“Your honor, frogs encroached my dock,
And geese defamed me near the rock!”
He cross-examined with a glare,
While swans just stared in feathered fear.
Pig was charged with hogging mud,
Rooster sued for slander crud.
Goat got off on chewing law,
Thanks to Duck’s fine closing drawl.
Preacher swore, “This ain’t divine,”
But hired Duck for zoning line.
Now duck courts rule the livestock code,
With verdicts stamped in feather mode.
