With stings like bees the hens poked him and pecked him a sleeping eagle – ironic Tempers, like earthquakes, tectonic Away the eagle flew. A raven did goad like a lovelorn, forlorn jilted maiden. “Woe, oh woe, where Doth thou go, you’re Far too foolish” the raven did scold. The eagle did fly soaring the sky taking the higher Road. A hawk laughed outright “Eagle, don’t try you’re a pitiable sight” attacking the eagle with all of its might. Over the mountains the eagle flew gliding the thermals a glorious view. Living the life God ordained him to with wings stretched wide the eagle did glide.

Above the fray and flying free
Wish it were me, wish it were me
But passions burn like an oiled sea
Wish it were me, wish it were me
