Duck race

Having invested my pound in the Yacht Club duck race I duly attended in anticipation of collecting the £50 first prize. The message came down the river that the yellow plastic ducks had been released and the tension through the large crowd began to grow. Just before the lead duck was about to emerge from under the bridge this mallard floated into view, Numerous cries of "thats my duck" were heard and the duck realising the errors of his ways made a rapid exit. I have to report that my plastic duck seems to have got lost on his short journey down the Gwuan River and I returned home penniless.
