Love a Duck
On 5 June 1995
An adult male mallard
Collided with the glass façade
Of the Natuurmuseum Rotterdam
And died.
Another drake mallard
Raped the corpse
Almost continuously
For 75 minutes.
Then the author
Disturbed the scene
And secured the dead duck.
Dissection showed
That the rape-victim
Indeed was of the male sex.
It is concluded
That the mallards were engaged in
An "Attempted Rape Flight"
That resulted in the first
Described case
Of homosexual necrophilia
In the mallard.

I also witnessed a ground hog run full-bore and headlong into a curb. This was a faraway day from the other event.
Your poem? These ducks are simply emulating humans. Ducky see. Ducky do.
Aflack my ass.
