That line from the father's song in Mary Poppins, where he's going on about how nothing can go wrong, in Britain in 1910.  That's about the point I realized the boy was gonna die in a trench.

I saw this at a bookstore lately.  Not surprisingly, it's a kids' book, but sometimes those have value for adults too.  I looked at it, didn't read the whole thing, but even what i did read managed to remind me of both Animal Farm* and the Illuminatus! Trilogy.**

*Because Duck got his start in politics running against and defeating the farmer in "Farm Elections" on his farm.
**Because it seemed every time Duck won an office and got down to business, he decided it wasn't that fun and went on to something else, and that sorta (a little bit) reminded me of that guy in Illuminatus! who took over Fernando Poo and then wondered how to go about running a country.
