> Ode to the Disney Ducks
> By Carl Barks
> 
> They ride tall ships to the far away,
> and see the long ago.
> They walk where fabled people trod,
> and Yetis trod the snow.
> 
> They meet the folks who live on stars,
> and find them much like us,
> With food and love and happiness the
> things they most discuss.
> 
> The world is full of clans and cults
> abuzz as angry bees,
> And Junior Woodchucks snapping jeers
> at Littlest Chickadees.
> 
> The ducks show us that part of life
> is to forgive a slight.
> That black eyes given in revenge
> keep hatred burning bright.
> 
> So when our walks in sun or shade
> pass graveyards filled by wars,
> It's nice to stop and read of ducks
> whose battles leave no scar.
> 
> To read ducks who parody
> our vain attempts at glory,
> They don't exist, but somehow leave
> us glad be bought their story.
