[bodytext] => I used to drive a school bus, Driving children home from school. I’d laugh and sing along with them. They thought I was “way cool.” While driving highway 19, Adjacent to a lake, On a hot and humid Florida day, Windows opened was a big mistake. While joking with the children, I felt a sudden “Whack.” A duck flew in my window, Sticking to my neck and back. I heard the children screaming, As my face was filled with blood. I had to somehow stop the bus, As trickling blood became a flood. My doctor did extract the duck, And handed me the bill. I handed it right back to him, And asked for more pain pills! I’ve told this story many times. No one has believed me yet. But I swear it really happened. Those thirty students will never forget. Moral Of The Story: If you see a bird flying straight for your head, “DUCK!” Then, don’t be a quack. Send IT the bill!
