I agree, but would like to note that that's "parry", not "perry".
Unless maybe he was calling for help from the editor of the Daily
Planet?  In any event, my possibly faulty memory has the whole scene
like so:

        (picture the Little-John-vs-Robin-Hood scene on a log across a
         stream.  Let's watch as Daffy prepairs for the conflict...)
    "Ho! Hah! Dodge! Guard! Turn! Parry! Spin! Thrust!"
         (as rebounding staff smashes bill up into face)
    "Hmmm... Something amiss here.  I'll run through it again..."
        (gesturing with finger, no staff motion)
    "Ho, hah, dodge, guard, turn, parry, spin, thrust."
         (bill is smashed into face with no apparent cause)
    "Got it! Now! Ho! Hah! Dodge! Guard! Turn! Parry! Spin! ..."
        (Porky introduces a twig into the middle of the spinning staff,
         causing a counter torque that catapults Daffy into the stream)
