Challenge #055. I chose pic #3.
Here’s where the image took me.
Four scaredy ducks by the river so wide,
Loudly quacked as they peered o’er the tide.
“It’s a challenge, alright,
With no land in sight!”
Then they turned tail and ran back inside.

I don’t know- perhaps they are too loud or can attract if we tease them 😅😂

Scared ducks! Another aspect of Al’s genius is whether he’s accompanied by an accordion or kick-ass musicians, he still brings it home. Love it!

Absolutely right! And I just couldn’t ignore a chance to feature Al once again! Thanks, Liz.

Perfect parody of the Huey Lewis and the News classic.

Thanks, Jim. I’m glad you enjoyed it. I wish I could have featured a Weird Al video of the song but the only one was a bootleg version from one of his concerts and it wasn’t very good.
