DuckMans Story


 The First of Many Stories of the Amazing DuckMan
     Once upon a time, there was a young duck named Duck. He lived in a town where everyone was a duck named Duck. One day, while Duck was eating a duckwich with his best friend, Duck, a man came by and shot everyone. Duck, being a smart duck, hid, but no other duck did so they all died. When Duck emerged he ran away from his town, Duck Town. When he had been running for hours and was a full two feet from the border of Duck Town and Man Town he fell into a hole. At the bottom of the hole there was a strange bubbling green liquid. Duck fell into it. When he emerged he was a duck man. A man with eyes on the side of his head and a duck bill. He was 7 feet tall and thin as a rod. His skin was tinted yellow. Being so tall he climbed out of the 5 foot tall hole and continued running to the center of Man Town. There he was loved by everyone because he was so ducky. He got free food and free other stuff. He had yellow "hair". Yellow eyes. And he was totally fluff. He wore a yellow hat. After seeing his town and fellow ducks destroyed by duck haters he made a vow to use his human body to protect ducks and bring duck life to the world. He wanted to do this because he was a duck man. Sadly, after 340 years and he was 400 years old his life took a turn for the worst. He grew fat from eating so much free food, and worse, he shrunk a depressing height of two feet. He was unable to grow and be thin so he was forced to live out his life long goal as a nonathletic hero but he still did his job very well and is a hero to duck kind. 
           One day while DuckMan was taking a waddle in the more unduckish part of Human Town he heard a loud pain filled horror stricken sound. It was the quack of a young duck being unfluffed. DuckMan had never seen the torture for himself, but as a young duck he had be taught in the famous duck school of Duck Town, Duck Stuff, what sound a duck made in the process. He saw a random skateboard lying in the street and leaped on to it preparing to take off down the street to the young duck's rescue. When he landed it was so spectacular that all the people on the street cheered. Then, in slow motion he raised his right leg preparing to make a fantastic push that would bring him in mere seconds to the young ducks aid. Down went the foot. AAAAAANNNNNNNDDDDDDDD. Nothing happened. He tried again and nothing happened. Then he looked down and realized that his legs, at a depressing length of two inches, were still quite far from the ground. He cursed (i hate fluff!) then he waddled at the extraordinary speed of one inch every ten minutes, and broke all the records any duck had ever done by a full half inch! "Soon" he found the duck. It was on its back and a huge man of four feet was looming above it, slowly unfluffing the poor duck. DuckMan was horrified. What could that duck have done to deserve such a fate? Then the man noticed DuckMan. " So DuckMan you have caught me. Well you are too late, this duck is almost unfluffed, even if you save it now it will still suffer for the rest of its life.  MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!"
          DuckMan charged forward and karate chopped the man in half and the man died instantly. He may have saved the duck from death, but he could not save him from pain. Then DuckMan fell down to his knees and begged to The Great Duck Spirit. " Oh Great Duck Spirit, can you please reliEve this duck of it's pain? " Then, The Great Duck Spirit flew down from the glory of the kingdom of Ducklo and pulled out one of his feathers and placed it on the duck. Instantly, millions of feathers began to grow on the duck. Soon he was completely healed. Then he leaped into the air and followed The Great Duck Spirit to Ducklo to receive the cleansing treatment that all duckS must get after they have unfluffed and then fluffed again. DuckMan happily watched them go, but he knew that he would never see that duck again. Then he turned and waddled back to his house. There he lay down on his bed and thought about how he was not the amazing hero he used to be, now that he was short and fat. But then the optimistic part of his brain thought, as long as they do not suffer for their life and are taken to a safe haven he was doing his job. Then the other side of his brain said, but they still go through pain because you're short and fat. Finally the optimistic side relented and DuckMan fell asleep. He had many more adventures like this one and after each one he was troubled by the fact that he could have done better if he was taller and thinner.

Not From America Poem By Mark Vazquez

I'm walking around this iron and metal city. It's nothing like Spain, Spain isn't as modern as this place. It's more old and quiet. It's not as loud as this place. Everywhere I go I see people talking and talking and talking. Nobody is never keeping their mouths closed. I also notice these these weird red puppets that expect money from you if you take a photo with them. I kind of like it, but yet i am afraid of this place that some people call home, but this place is definitely not home for me. My home is back in Spain. Although I do notice that a lot of people speak Spanish here. People from Puerto Rico, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Argentina and other Spanish-speaking countries.This place is interesting, it has poeple from all over the world, Italy, France, Germany, Ireland, my home country Spain and way more countries. I miss home, but I'll be back soon once I get bored with New York. But for now New York is my hotel and Spain is my home.

Alien perspective from Marlon Francis


Say you floated above earth in your little spaceship looking down on all the humans, just to get to know their life. Now say you see a human, letting in a weird small animal walk into it’s home, and back out. What would you think? Why would humans let animals just walk into their home like that? What if the animal had stolen something! Like the small bowl of water and food on the floor? Wait, it did take from those. Yet the human is okay with that? Why? Why would the human do that? Do humans just let people or animals just walk into their home and take what they want? Are they just a bunch of push-overs? I guess I’ll never understand the humans.

Social Norms

COFFEE

Why do we drink coffee.
Its not eben that good.
Its bitter
 its not good for you

It has tons of caffeine 
Which is definitly not good

SO drink it and WAKE UP!!!

Piggies!??!

Piggies?!?!
By Aliya Fontaine

Piggies are weird
Cute and weird
they are usually blue and red
where I am from
but now they are pink!
And they are smooth
they are usually fluffy
these are not piggies
on my side of the world
and
there has to be a reason for all of this
these are not there their color
did they do something to them
or are they
DEAD!
why are they not blue?
They should be blue!
Did they do something else
They are still walking
Maybe they painted them.
Yes,they must have painted the piggies
They used to be nice and fluffy
Blue or red
So these are not piggies!
They must have put
Costumes on!
but put the wrong color on it
I think they are insulting piggies!
They are so mean!
They should get punished,
BY THE....
PIGGIES!
Piggies shouldn't be insulted
They are cute in blue
but
MYSTERIOUS
in Pink!

GERMS EVERYWHERE!!!!

The spread of germs
As you touch the sweaty hand of your colleague
One person’s hand can carry 10 million bacteria
Imagine 10 million tiny little bugs crawling on to your hand
Who knows what that person has touched
And then, when you touch the hand of another person,
you get another 10 million germs
So will we carry on the cycle of shaking hands?
And the shape of hands!
We have 5 little worms dangling from your arm!
Worms live in the ground.
So what’s the point?
Think about it.

 

Ducks?

ducks?
by taylor smith

ducks are strange
adorable yet strange
they are different colours
like green brown and white
in my world they are fluffy
not to mention yellow
i dont get this world
its weird
there must be a reason
why the ducks aint yellow
i think they might be painted
the horror of this world
so terrible i cried
but why are they painted?????
why are they corrupted???????
are they tricked
are they captured
my world will never know
unless is unless i take a walk
and inspecte the victims
of this worst nightmare
that haunts us day and night
ducks are creatures too
and should not be torrtured
but what i really wish to know
is how the dreadful humans
work their works of woe


What is time, anyway? By Willa Meissner

What is time, anyway? 
Is it an invention or a discovery? 
I mean, Who ever thought of seven days in a week? 
Why can't it be ten or something? 
And the names. 
Wednesday? January? 
60 “seconds” in a “minute".
60 “minutes” in an “hour”.
24 “hours in a “day”.
7 “days” in a “week”.
4 “weeks” in a “month”.
12 “months” in a “year”.
So on and so forth.
I wonder why...

Willa's REAL Performance Poem

Lay down for bed, rest our heads.
A night full of dread, tears were shed
And yet it's a new day.

Darkness in the sea of light
Just because of that one night.
This unexpected world may never be bright
And yet it's a new day.

Five four three two one
Your suffering is over, your day is done
Think and think, and your mind, it spun
That yet it's another day

Sometimes you just want to go to bed
Rest our heads, sleep instead
Take on the world, your father had said

And tomorrow shall be another day.

Ours- A Poem by Lucy Meissner

Life and living
Death
Ours is the fault of our future
The man in black
With no words
Has stolen once again
His duty is done
And here we are
All of us
Standing in our own tears

SAM LAPP'S POEM

Attention
People need it
People crave it

Assorted haikus I by Georgia Kretz

Disappointed? Yes.
Promises of glory? Yes.
A lollipop? Yes.




Haiku, oh haiku
What should I put inside you?
Irrelevant now.




Ba ba ba, ba ba
Nana. Ba ba ba ba ba
Potay-toh-hoh-hoh.





Food Haiku

Pecan pie is BAD
Pecan pie is distasteful 
I will never like pie.

Sam Lapp

Apples
They look green and round
Oranges
Have skin as thick as metal
and look like a ivory brown
Grapes
They look small.......
cause piiiieeeee

Willa's Second Possible Performance Poem

Awkward, tangled silence
That soon turns into chaos.
A blooming flower
Now ash.

Slender courage 
Turns to poison,
Becomes upside down 
In a flash.

Love
Hate 
War 
Race

These are the things to savor
To be careful of
To favor

But watch out
For you might be mistaken.

Flying Thoughts

start now
is the moment 
in time 
is valuable 
things are only for the rich 
chocolate makes my mouth water 
is an important resource
Thoughts fly
Through my head 
Like a bird 
fights the storm

SAM'S POEM

Religon has come
Turned out not to be true
The believers Deny
But they know it is true
When the chosen day comes
Will deny our sins
When Humanity comes
The Enlightened will reform
When Humanity Prevails
Death will come to all

Dream's Deep by Georgia Kretz

Dream's Deep  by Georgia Kretz

While you’re sleeping
They come
And they change
From the peaks of the tallest mountains
To the forgotten
Forbidden
Deep
And it is here
They are most strange
The deep
Where you are the stranger
In the twisted world they create
Things grow
Things shrink
And it would seem to an observer
That you were on the brink
Of insanity
But I don’t think so
For the observer
Forgets
That in their own dreams
This is the place they go
And mostly
In this deep of dreams
Nothing is ever as it seems
And sometimes
In the dark of the night
You are forced to fight
Against the monsters
Of your nightmares
And you scream
And cry
And you start to believe you’ll really die
And your life
It flashes before your eyes
You close them now
And you jolt
Awake
Breathing ragged breaths
And realizing you were never
Even close
To death
The people have spoken
The others shall go....
To be roasted and eaten
In Carcasses they shall go home as.....
and dead shall they be
