This poem traces the history of Donald Duck over the past 75 years.....


Good Old Donald Duck

He is still quacking aloud
At the age of seventy- five
He is Donald Fauntelroy Duck
Of Disney fame
Recently described as being
Irascible yet innocent
Clumsy but elegant
Stinky but lovable
in the Deutsche Presse-Agentur

We all agree that Donald
Has served his country well
From the troubled days
Of World War II to the present
He has entertained people of all ages
And starred in several
Propaganda shorts too
He even won an Oscar
In nineteen forty-two
For his scintillating performance
In Der Fueher's Face

Despite all this hectic activity
He has aged very well
Surviving many appearances
In films, TV serials and now
Even popular video games
Donald keeps changing
with the times and keeps pace
With technology too
Let's raise a toast to him
On his platinum jubilee and wish
That he makes it to a century
