Late for Lunch
  
  I’ve no questions only answers
 Ducky said to Dad one day
 I’ll show you I’m the smartest one
 Why should I do what you say?
  
 Then Raccoon heard his boast and paused
  And slyly licked his paws
  He walked down to the water’s edge
  And stood to give applause
 
 When Ducky heard the sound he looked
 And saw Raccoon’s smiling eyes
 How wise this creature Ducky thought
 To see where greatness lies
  
 But sadly by next day at noon
 Ducky didn’t show for lunch
 Where he was off to no one knew
 But his father had a hunch!
  
  
 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: 
 But fools despise wisdom and instruction.
 Proverbs 1:7 KJV
