Rubber Ducks

I have collected rubber ducks for a long time now. My first word was duck so I feel that they have been an important part of my life. I now have 51 ducks and other duck shaped things. When asked why I collect rubber ducks I simply say "because I like them" and that is really and truly the only reason I collect them. This is some of my collection...

My favourite duck of all time is the leopard print one at the front, I got that one for Christmas a while ago and I have had it ever since. The yellow ones I bought for a dollar each from a duck fishing contest at a fair. The pride and joy of my collection is the large duck at the back, that duck I found for a great price and have had for over two years now. The oldest duck in my collection is a red one that is at the back, I have had that duck for eight years but sadly none of the ducks I had when I was little have joined my collection. My most comedically name duck is Ducktor Who, as a fan of the tv show I thought it would be fitting to buy this particular duck. I have only ever had three ducks given to me by friends, the first duck given to me by a friend was the red duck at the front which says "I <3 my friend", the next duck given to me was the duck decorated like a builder which sits at the back and I recently recieved a lovely white duck decorated with flowers. I would like to thank all that have given me ducks and plan to keep collecting for many years.
