Poem
"Franklin, why do you want such a fat, ugly bird? Are you getting senile, or just being absurd?" "Clearly, Mr. Adams, you are not being a friend. My dove, not the turkey, will win in the end. Though Franklin's turkey may be our most native bird, your eagle, as well, will not be the final word. A sign of Peace is what we need, to show other nations of what we heed." "Are you nuts, Thomas, for saying such? Only my turkey can represent what we need so much!" "Have both of you gone so daft in the head, not to see that my eagle should be the one instead? It has power and majesty that our nation new, can be ascribed to the birds advocated by you. We want Peace, but must remember this war, so how can we petition a dove to complete this chore? As for the turkey, I know the pride it shows, but I just can't get over that thing on its nose. So my Eagle is the one without a ruse, and the best bird for the Congress to choose. It can show our intent for Peace with an olive branch, is native as the turkey, with a prideful stance. Freedom will come and be represented by my Eagle's unlimited flight in the sky. Ever watchful for both Peace and War, and without the turkey's nasal sore." "We both know, Thomas, that Adams is correct. His bird is beyond the circumspect." "Yes, Franklin, I have always known that my dove and your turkey would not have flown." "Then are we agreed, gentlemen, that we three as one, my Eagle is the bird that has hatched and won?" Just thinking about this conversation made me weak, especially when I had to give it a tweak. But the Eagle has represented us well, both in Peace and War, as history will tell. I have obviously voted with Adams on his choice, It has given our country a singular voice. It is strong, majestic, and watchful to be sure, and stood the test of time with great enure. One more thing I'll say about the symbol we branded, What would we have thought if Armstrong had said, " The Turkey has landed"?
