The Dead Duck Cost A Buck

The local Veterinarian gave Ossie a job

He wasn’t background checked, he was the Vet’s niece’s heartthrob

Every day Ossie worked and not without some mêlée

Domestic pet owners threaten to beat Ossie one day

Early on mornings he report to the Vet

And sorted medicines for each client’s pet  

Dogs were walked but were never bathed clean

Didn’t like them shaking on him, didn’t want it his routine

Usurped himself when the Vet was gone

Coat he eyed and when certain put on

Kept an eye on the office and would often pretend

Capable of examining the animals when

Only he was there so that day when he

Stayed behind in the clinic late there was opportunity

This lady came in an asked Ossie what’s wrong with her duck

And Ossie said the duck is dead, must have been hit by a truck

But she wasn’t satisfied so Ossie went for a brown Labrador

Used it to sniff and later a cat and they said the duck dead fah sure

Can’t be real, she said when she saw her bill, this is robbery man!

Kind lady, “$20 fah me and $130 fah de Lab report and de Cat Scan
