I don't owe anyone a living!

the 12 given words:
treat alone breath harm tell honey 
call pass late shot tower fiddle

What a treat!
To be sitting atop the table all alone
Seeing the world go leisurely by

It may take your breath away
Seeing an unusual stance
But it is not in harm's way
to any one
In fact, even the duck is able to tell
That I'm a safe bet to be with

How I sit is my bother, honey
You may call it a passing fancy
but it is none of anyone's concern!

It may be late in the day
but as a parting shot let us say
that I need not tower over others
to earn my keeps
nor do I need to fiddle over their affairs

I don't owe anyone a living

  3. Well even I can see it is an easier fit for him there rather than squeezing his legs under the table. The duck however is a freeloader a destitute begging for food as he is too tired to look for his own.
