She rolled up her piano and tucked it underneath her chinny chin chin
off the the courtyard she went to play a tune from Mama Balloon
"Absolutely not or never" said porky pig as she played shiny, to win
inside the water fountain a red cap bobbed and floated like a loon
Singing to the top of her voice every tonsil quivered as she did her gig
bass lined to the music she strolled the keys on a piano forte made of pulp
"Play it again " cried Petunia Pig while re-arranging her imaginary wig
but as the rain began to fall, Suzie stopped playing and began to gulp
Suffering Cilantro your piano has turned into nothing more than mush
said the little piglet with a tiny little bugle nose as bright as a red rose
"I got a rockjam keyboard made of foil at home" she began to gush
but all she heard was " Tsk tsk tsk" and suddenly the oink just froze
"Send out the clowns" huffed Piggly Wiggly Bob who lisped his nouns
and so Suzie with an origami thingy ma jig fined tuned a little trumpet
"Keep it coming" whooped Porky Pig and Daffy Duck painting the town
they danced to the beat of " Oh Susannah" without hurry without fret.
Daffy Duck, a cartoon from my childhood, slick as can be
came to life on Saturdays on our grayscale black and white TV
He first appeared in Porky Pig’s duck hunt in April of 1937
Porky had a shotgun, and tried his best to send this pest to heaven
Daffy was a character, created by two guys, Tex Avery and Bob C.
They made him cagey and clever, he was hilarious on our old TV
We cheered for him weekly, it was our pleasure to watch him escape.
That shotgun never got him, he was resourceful in every single take.
Rooting for zany and cunning Daffy Duck
wrong place wrong time ~ somewhat of a schmuck
at the wrong end of Elmer Fudd’s gun
not much fun to always be on the run

Oh Daffy Dilly
Oh Daffy Dilly
Daisies amongst the Olive Trees , the gentleman sits upon his seat and sips upon his mead ...
Some know him to be the actor, Mr Oliva Reed .
Oh Daffy Dilly
Oh Daffy Dilly
Where Daisies grow softly spoken amongst the wondering cloud , words worth. a flower born
Oh Daffy Dilly
Oh Daffy Dilly
Where Daisies dance amongst the Wondering cloud, words worth in silence ne er the shadow to see
Oh Daffy Dilly
Oh Daffy Dilly
The Sun
Our Life
Within me
Oh Daffy Dilly
Oh Daffy Dilly
Hearts are broken all around the world
But others don't really give a cluck
Most Looney Tunes fans are drenched in tears
By the tragic death of Daffy Duck
Blown to pieces by an ACME bomb
Let's make a toast and sip from this cup
I'll miss him more than you'll ever know
That little guy always quacked me up
A-Thee, A-Thee, A-Thee, That's All Folks!
Jamaica No she volunteered

Silence of the lambs. Bah!

Bugs,
patient and calm; I'd give him hugs
Trickster made debut in "Porky's Hare Hunt;"
puts up with some arrogant duck's affront
Daffy
Full of mischief; not as sweet as Laffy Taffy
He serves as foil to a better-behaved bunny
His personality deemed less than sunny

I spotted her from far away
a thin tart
Very svelte in a form
fitting long green gown
Her face shrouded by
a rather large
oversized
Buttercup yellow
bonnet
Daffy O' Dill
The Spring maiden
flaunting and teasing
Passers by. Who could miss
the huge bonnet
Towering over the
thin frame as she flowed with
The wind and sunned herself.
A bee stopping
To sip of her powerful
aromatic nectar which
Nature provided.
To the Bee an ambrosia, a
Delightful natural cocktail
of Devine proportions.
Ah yes and his spiritual adviser
the Hummingbird
In a bit of a hurry
not too impressed with
Daffy O' Dills' lack
of sweetness prefers roses
Or more fragrant pastoral flowers.
We must
Welcome Daffy O' Dill
for even though Old Man
Winter covers her
and hoards her for himself
She always erupts svelte
and glorious a sanctimonious
Welcome to spring
that one cannot ignore.
TOOTHLESS
Long kiss
to miss

(This is a fictional poem)
I slept with Daffy Duck and I'm so ashamed.
Instead of making love to a woman, I made love to game.
I was drunk when we got in the sack.
He was so sexy because he was black.
When my girlfriend found out, she forgave me even though I'm a sinner.
She then shot Daffy Duck and served him for dinner.
