The Unbearable Hamster of Being: It’s Not Minneapolis Airport, But It’ll Have to Do

    NEWSWIRE--A misprint on the federal "duck stamp" has a phone-sex-service number affixed to cards that are distributed to millions of waterfowl hunters.

    She picked up the phone with seduce-and-flirt answer
    But balked at my questions on Goose and Merganser.
    I asked for some facts about Cygnets and Teals;
    She teased of relaxing in fishnets and heels.
    She said she'd act out as whatever I made her,
    But rankled at Trumpeter, Plover and Wader.
    I swore my intentions weren't odd or foul;
    I can't help it if my hangup's waterfowl.

    She hung up, but I have a waiting call:
    It's my fate to call 900-MATING CALL.
