Duck Opens Law Firm, Specializes in Pond Disputes and Tractor Injury Claims

Ma slipped in mud, cried “Sue the rain!”
Pa yelled, “Call Duck, he’ll bring the pain!”
Duck waddled in with suit and tie,
Quacked “Justice!” with a legal sigh.
He sued the wind for hat assaults,
And roosters for sunrise defaults.
Goat got rich from fence collapse,
Lou won big from sheep toe traps.
Granny tripped on corn–now rich,
Thanks to Duck’s aggressive pitch.
“Have you slipped near pond or trough?
You may be owed! Don’t shake it off!”
Preacher called it “unholy gain,”
Then settled fast for water pain.
City lawyers took a peek,
Then cried foul when Duck would speak.
He quacked his way through every trial,
Now owns the coop in legal style.
