Acrostic for a Duck

Holden ate every last spilled pellet
Off the ground 'til his chest hung
Low and bloated like a bullfrog stuck
in a
Deep-throated croak. He tried to walk, waddled
Even, to the water tub where he spent the rest
of the day, floating,
Neck spasms interrupting his compulsive drinking.
