It was a rainy Sunday in Seattle, and Emotikin needed to get out of the house!
“Let’s take a walk,” she said to rubber ducky, who had been twiddling his leash
and watching TV all day, bored bored bored, just waiting for the invitation.

California Avenue on a Sunday afternoon was busier than they expected.
Lots of folks with cabin fever were out and about since the showers had turned to drops.

“Whoa!” said the dog (fresh from his grooming appointment next door).
“What the duck?!”

“Can I smell that maple creature?”

“Hey, don’t get too close to my duck, dog! That’s not a toy!”

 Lucky duck, escaped the dog!

So the duck and Emotikin continued their walk in West Seattle,
and greeted other Sunday walkers on their way.
“We don’t need no stinkin’ umbrella,” whispered the duck after those folks passed by.

Stopped to talk with a worm who didn’t say much.

Emotikin couldn’t help but start humming that song made
famous by Ernie. “Rubber ducky, you’re the one…”

“…you  make Seattle so much fun,
rubber ducky I’m awfully fond of you!
Boo boopy doo!”

A rainy Sunday is so much better after a walk!
