Duck and Gators

Once up-on a time, in a swamp, deep in the south, there lived three alligators and a duck. One Gator was called Quack Gator, another was Quick Gator and the third Gator had a name that no one could remember so they just called her Forma Gator and the duck was called Tater Gator.

One day Tater Gator was swimming along when up popped Gator Quack. He says, where are you going so fast Tater Gator? Tater Gator says: I’m on my way to see a friend in a near-by town. Quack Gator said: do you mind if I swim along with you? Tater Gator said: swim where ever you want, but I am in a bit of a hurry as my friend in this town is getting married today! Quack Gator asked: will there be a cake at the wedding? And Tater Gator said: Of course, there is always a cake at weddings.

About that time, FormaGator came swimming up and says: Hi Guys, what’s up? Before anyone could answer old long nose Quick Gator appeared and ask: what’s going on? FormaGator said: I just asked that question and Quack Gator was about to answer when Tater Gator said: I am on my way to a friends wedding in a town near-by and Quack Gaor was swimming along with me. But FormaGator showed up and now I think they have other plans. Quick Gator said: “Oh No’ Don’t you think this swamp is getting a bit over crowded as it is?

Tater Gator swam on to the town where his friend was getting married. After the ceremony Tater Gator had his fill of cake and the married couple disappeared. Tater Gator was going to fly back home, but he had eaten too much cake and couldn’t get off the ground. It would take a lot longer to swim back as now he would be swimming against the current. Tater Gator had to swim ashore and rest several times before he came to the end of his journey. Once he gets around the next corner he should be able to see his home port.

It was getting close to being dark and he notice Quick Gator and Forma Gator floating a hundred or so feet off the dock. Then he noticed that on the dock was his friend Quack Gator. They had given him mouth to mouth and now he was being rolled over on to his back and they were about to hang him up-side down by his tail. One of the dock worker was heard to say: “Just as we thought, He has a leaky Radiator“ and there were teeth marks where Forma
gator had bitten him.

“Which just goes to prove, two Male Gators and a Duck are no match for a Lady Gator!”
