Mickey Duck was dux of luck with a head of ears and size
His shorts of extroverted red and yellow boots were prized
His gloves of white were cleaned at night much like his feathered back
His Big Black Book and iconic look brought cheers from zealous eyes
Daffy Mouse was not as grouse with a back covered in hair
He'd hardly hear the jokes and jeers of the ducks or mice held dear
He loved the Book and hoped to look more like the part someday
He'd much more lack and was much less fat and his heart was warm, not grey
Now Mickey Duck was in a park when Daffy Mouse nearby
Struck a talk and pricked his ears and Mickey gawked unshy
He gave a quack at Daffy Mouse who hustled further near
The two became a sparring pair that day in Franklin Square
Unlikely friends they'd make amends for Pente and Presbytery ways
Mickey spoke The Way and hope conveyed like prophets often say
Visions grande they'd travel land in a culture turning ears
They couldn't command the audience planned as love appeared at bay
Mickey Luck and Daisy Duck wedded as punk rock teens
Daffy Mouse as second to spouse cross-married Clarabelle fiend
Chicks and pups brought many clucks as kids close-knitted their cliques
Daffy Mouse opened house and Huey learned duck tricks
Mickey did deeds with the Book of Great Heeds but Daffy could not follow suit
He sowed big seeds but they sprouted as weeds as Clarabelle pouted a moot
And being a lout of passionate tout he tried as he could to appease
But Daisy uneased via Mickey unpleased told Daffy to question his boots
So being a dag he darted mad, jumping to shrink and advice
Yet giving his all as a mouse with a call Clarabelle would not entice
And daft he might be Daffy wouldn't let be but wanted to stay by her side
Yet Mickey stepped in without even a grin and bade Daffy to pay the price
Thus came the day that Daffy Mouse strayed with buckles under pressures a loose
And sent then away Daffy departed the fray as a shepherd being chased by a goose
To a halfway house Clarabelle put her mouse having colluded with the French
There Daffy read of the ousting of mice in the Book and in Marcel Proust
Now Daffy went deep and tried he might keep his lambkins from tailless rambling
But Daisy indeed reaped seeds of deceit that already kept Clara from ambling
She meddled with words among all of the herd and mothered their minds astray
And spoke as she did to ducks and the pups that Daffy should not be scrambling
When two years had past Daffy asked one last pass, if he Clara would have and would hold
The scorn Clarabelle cold as she mocked this as old and Daffy as mad as pink mould
Now that he knew her abandonment shoo he was deserted and loosed to the wild
Unbounded his tears and the twenty-odd years divorce was finally told
Like a prison release Daffy scampered to please straightway by the hole of one Rabbit
Minerva a tease she used him with ease and moved on as fast as her habit
Clarabelle spat but her Reverend used the bat to rebuke the Mouse as a dick
Dr. Ludwig Von Drake and the Shepheard both spake to Daffy as if he was a bandit
Yet Daffy held dear his promises ere he tended his pups without pests
A bear thrice now robbed he gathered with Hobbes his cubs in a house to be nest
Like Calvin would do Huey refused his hot stew though Daffy gave all he had made
Huey quoted his Mum for Clarabelle's thumb was still on Daffy's unrest
And the very next day when the Mouse was away taxiing his Bella about
Daisy came to the home and Huey unalone took him while Daffy was out
In little more time she texted a line interrogating Daffy as Dad
He couldn't ignore so went to her door and Huey came out without clout
But when he then did Daisy raised her big lid with Mickey idly by
She gaped a forked tongue and pulled out a gun and shot off a deadly lie
And reversing then out with Huey not stout Daffy waved them both a goodbye
Before reaching the farm Daisy raised an alarm with a call to the homeland spies
This was a farce and even Clarabelle far once came to her mice to now console
Yet concerning more still and bizarre to the hilt was what was about to unfold
Daffy the Mouse now whelmed and propelled by a bell of swelling missed calls
Seeking wise counsel and eating a mouthful there arrived an ominous hold
But taking a breath and trying to rest there arrived now by email a pounce
Daffy a tad panicked and feeling a bit manic could nor read not even an ounce
Formals from Mickey needed forming committee so Daffy forwarded it for advice
The counsel received gave Daffy reprieve and it warmed him not even announce
Concerned he had learned Daffy yearned for a truce but for now he gave Ducks abeyance
He took up his share in this daymare of care to ameliorate whatever made sense
Like Bo-Peep from sleep he took up his crook determined for pups to mind them
The Book they all read said the wise would be fed on overlooking offence
Then thawed from his freeze and loving a squeeze Daffy bumped into Selena Squirrel
A companion with tweens she seemed marriage means and was hungry with Daffy to settle
Desperate for peeps like Job suffering leaks Daffy needed to Selena resorted
Like a pigeon a pair they courted with care amid all their nightmares of meddle
It happened one day, as Daffy did stray, into his fellow hardby
He fellowship kept before Clarabelle left him out on his own to comply
The Pastor resigned, his visit poor timed, Rev Frollo had taken the post
Before the whole throng, in the middle of song, he evicted the Mouse awry
Daffy distraught, to appeal the contort, sent to Session to plead for reason
Needless dismay, the elders said nay, with ex-communication
Not clerk nor classis, not reformation glasses, would dissuade the Lynchmob stampede
Without concede or reprieve this Summerleas stede was Sardis from Revelation
Now Daffy not blind to the unholy kind of coercion and social violence
Was now more grieved, a second letter received, from Mickey breaking his silence
Again Daffy conceived the danger indeed and sent for vetting to screen
His council aghast counselled him not to give pass nor to open up correspondence
Yet innocently out publically Daffy hoped about courteous etiquette
He'd wave or smile and greet in the isle when Mickey at Roads preached eloquent
The Duck and the Mouse on one happy chance shook hands as Daffy gave thanks
Yet later withdrawn Mickey sent more to mourn unless Daffy would answer his elephant
So with PTSD Daffy opened a plea to his Shepheard Across the Roads
Who gave his best Ducks who seeing it sucks helped Daffy regain repose
With Selena’s great aid who squirrelled away to open and read the writ
Daffy began a great labour in earnst without favour to replying Mickey with a hose
Two letters he wrote to Mickey's email smotes with carbon from the shrink and a quote
Handwritten contrite in the genre of light from Philemon to clear the throat
Daffy did not expect the day of express and the arrival in their letterbox
A drawbridge came down and the duck with the frown rode darkhorse across the moat
Clad with more mail Mickey spotted all pail served notice at Daffy's blue door
A declaration sore and a demand to now gnaw with a threat attached to the law
So shocking the shock that Daffy forgot his puppy asoak in the shower
The water went cold before Daffy behold poor Bono asleep with no snore
Huey distraught and caught in the tort of Daffy delirious with grief
Wept as they prayed and strayed out of mind as they lay without comic relief
This tale of a duck whose mail had hailed the ending of friendship, not strife
And the death of their dog whose tail had trailed not with luck but with tragedy and life
