Poem

And so they sat, this learned three
in full pursuit of liberty,
the turkey, eagle and the dove
looked down upon them from above.

The declaration almost writ
they rubbed their chins a little bit;
looked heavenward, and there espied 
their feathered friends, as one they cried: 

The perfect symbol he would be
to represent our great country!
His visage shall our seal adorn
To celebrate our new land born!   

But harmony became dissent
as three ways now their discourse went;
voicing long as they were able -
till three bird splats hit the table.

Silenced now, the conversation
at this triple defecation,
the trio must now make a pact:
clean up the table, and their act.

Full focused now, the case was laid
for each bird, compliments were paid,  
pausing only, eyes a-goggle
at the turkey’s goofus gobble.

Despite their eloquential might
they could not make their choice take flight;
just as they made their virtues soar
another splat would hit the floor.

The birds, enjoying now this game
attempt to calibrate their aim;
to make their mark and thus complete
the declaration at their feet.

The Dove, descending from his perch
aghast at our trio’s besmirch;
peppering poop across their stage
like little stars across the page.

The turkey, not to be outdone
slicked back his crop and took a run;
with several rather clumsy wipes
he bathed the document with stripes.

The Eagle watched with some disdain 
his adversaries stock now wane;
their lust for glory now long gone - 
he knew he was the chosen one.

The Eagle may have won the day
his image is still used today;
but Dove and Turkey may still brag -  
they made the stars and stripes your flag.
