A chapter in the book Worlds

Duck World 8

by Bill Schott


I met a guy in Mexico

in cracker jacks with tie;

he wore a big sombrero

that he sold me, by-n-by.


He said he was a navy seal,

though, plainly, just a duck;

said he was a shellback salt

just lately out of luck.


I think his name was Donald,

though his speech was quite impeded;

could just as well been Ronald,

or another, I've conceded.


At any rate, I tried to leave,

there were more sights to see;

then he grabbed me with his skinny hand --

'There was a ship,' quoth he.
