"I saw a duck."

I saw a duck.
A plain, white duck.
It stared back at me.
I asked it what it was like to fly.
It replied, "quack,"
Which I can only assume means "great."
And it probably assumed that my words meant, "quack."
I will never forget that duck.
Ever.

An Encounter

"My voice had an accent of forced bravery in it and I was ashamed of my paltry stratagem. I had to call the name again before Mahony saw me and hallooed in answer. How my heart beat as he came running across the field to me! He ran as if to bring me aid. And I was penitent; for in my heart I had always despised him a little."

~James Joyce, Dubliners (1914)

Disneyland is dedicated to the ideals, the dreams and the hard facts that have created America...with the hope that it will be a source of joy and inspiration to all the world."
