(‘<    it has been a lonely
period for proper gander
since <‘)  dumbed down
duck stopped listening to
his daily bulletins about
global affairs, but, as it is
coming up to Christmas
Quackery period, perhaps
it is inevitable considering
that it’s a carnivore festival
for animal lovers worldwide.
Plucking, stuffing, skewing,
roasting, basting, devouring.
We rarely eat red meat now!
