Dear Rubber Ducky,

Mr. R. Ducky:

I regret to inform you that your place at bath time has been filled
by a glass of my favorite Merlot.  While libations can’t join in the
bubbly fun, they can be way too relaxing to resist.  Your services are
no longer needed, and I wish you luck with all your future aqueous
endeavors.

Best Wishes,

Jessica
