Gutsy, Braggart Butterfly

soaring swift and high is brave Butterfly, believing really he's lord of the sky; one sunny day, he thinks he is able to bully an actual full-sized eagle who looks to him as a nervous dummy with neither fire nor guts in his tummy, a pushover eagle, vulnerable to assaults, and pretty much unable to duck his kicks and jabs, his straight and cross; and so he bravely flips and flaps across the scared eagle's unperturbed countenance with haughty wings of daring confidence; and when the sky is brightly azure blue, a truly pissed off eagle must make do, flying long and real tired without a snack, with bold Butterfly in his..brrrp..stomach !
