Operation Yellow Duck Hazard

I strode past the chain-link gates of the neighborhood splash pad, buoy wedged firmly under my elbow! Domestic quarters were quiet, but outdoor recreational sectors demand rigorous vigilance. Sssufferin' succotash—peril struck immediately! Right on the blue rubberized non-slip paving sat an abandoned rubber duck, entirely deserted amidst dormant aquatic spray nozzles. Unattended recreational gear in a high-traffic pedestrian channel! I halted at a strictly certified safe perimeter, leaned forward cautiously, and prodded the rubber duck's tail with the tapered nose of my rescue can. Squeeeeak! The vessel rocked safely into an adjacent dry drainage groove. Path cleared, hazard neutralized, and total aquatic order restored!
