Walternatives; Or, Perhaps Our Faults Aren't In Our Stars But Hinge Upon Our Avatars

     Walter 

Disney draws a rodent. 

     Walter 

Lantz...? He draws a bird. 
     Walter 

Kelly draws a swampful -- 
     feather'd, 

weather'd, scaled 'n' furr'd. 
     Walter 

Carr draws souls of black folk, 
     folk who 

look a lot like him. 
     Walter 

Simonson draws Thor,
     performs the 

chore with nimble vim. 
     Walter 

Handelsman draws pols
     as well as 

Pulitzer's applause. 

     And Mc-

Dougall, Walter, draws, 

     with L. Frank's 

aid, oddballs from Oz. 
     There've been 

so-o-o few unsuccessful 'toons
     from 

fellas nicknamed Walt.
     If 

my 'toons fail but I'm call'd Dale,
     how's 

such defeat my fault...?
