DUCK!

DUCK! "Duck! Indeed duck!" I cried . Our river canoe's slow meandering float down that Ozarks stream had quietly encountered "turbulence." Safety-vested, and accompanying another Missouri lawyer, on our annual Bar's float trip, I felt secure. I was ready for spates of choppy water. But not for threatening low-lying tree limbs was I prepared. So. Ever one to be prudent I cried again loudly cried: "Duck! Indeed duck!" My fellow passenger and our boat's pilot burst out with laughter. I even laughed at myself, somewhat. But I recognize peril when I see it, and I give it wide berth, whenever I do! I ducked! They did too! We made it!
