'Twas the night before duck season, and inside our house,
I was laid up in bed, listening to my spouse.
The camo displayed, the duck calls nearby;
I just shook my head and kept pondering, "Why?"
The season is long, I'd better prepare.
Sixty days of washing LOML's long underwear.
Shotgun and shells gleaming, ready to fire;
At least he's prepared, it's down to the wire.
The puppies were nestled, all snug in their beds,
while visions of ducks flew about in their heads.
I in my robe and LOML in his boots,
he explained that it isn't that loud when he shoots.
Then out on the driveway, there arose such a clatter;
we dashed to the window to see what was the matter.
I flipped on the lights and what did I see?
It was Tim, pulling up with his ATV.
Giddy and happy and delighted were they;
Oh the ducks they would call! Tomorrow's the day!
Swapping high fives and loading the truck,
they dreamed of shooting their limits with luck.
Tomorrow at 4:00, I'll arise with my man,
to feed him some breakfast and tell him my plan.
"While you're away, some shopping I might do.
All for me and NONE for you!"

I love it!!!
So entertaining:) I will be thinking and praying for you and little bit!
LOVE IT!! Not so much ducks at our house, but the deer. GRRR, how I despise deer season. Now with two little boys at home, it's worse..they want to go wtih daddy..so I get crying children! Bought the oldest a pair of coveralls this year, though, so at least I'll be down to ONE crying child!
It is always some season around here, duck, deer-bow, deer-gun, turkey, etc. My kids have a stomach bug right now and Brandon actually thought he was still going hunting after he gets done with work this afternoon. I am afraid that is not going to work!
Love it! As my friends Lexie says, "I'm always ready for duck season...The men are the happiest." Hope you survive the coming months. I can totally commiserate.
I always smile SO big when I read this. You are so talented, sister!
Love you and happy duck hunting season!
I love this. :-)
Can you write one for golf widows too?
So so so funny! You are a talented poet! I have a duck hunter and yes it is a long season. I can relate to every bit of this hilarious post.
TOO CUTE. I can so so so relate, too.
