Poem
***Stay true to who you are and never let anyone pull you from your center!*** One day Mr. Chicken came to realize that he was pretty low on the aviary chain. He clucked and pecked, and pecked and clucked until this idea to him.... came! "I will challenge an Eagle to a fight- yeah, that's exactly what I will do!- and when I win, hey, even the hens, they'll be impressed with me too!" He kept looking up in hopes, that one day, an Eagle would fly overhead! One day to his surprise, he couldn't believe his eyes, it came true this idea he had bred! He clucked in his whiny, little chicken voice- "Hey Mr. Eagle, come down here and fight me, RIGHT NOW!!!" The Eagle who was soaring high up above said "He's a chicken, I can't this allow!" Against his better judgement the Eagle descended, the roosters and hens were in awe! The Chicken called the Eagle, "a pigeon in disguise".... the Eagle started opening his claws! "Are you ready to fight me?" said the Chicken, as the barnyard "aaah-ed and oooh-ed!" Even the horses, the goats, cows and ducks, in suspense they all were glued! The Chicken got right up in the Eagle's face- he was literally beak to beak! The Eagle stayed cool, he was calm and collected- he could not and would not be tweaked! The Eagle gave the Chicken the "eagle eye" and the Chicken backed off in a hurry!!! He started running around like he'd lost his mind! Everyone laughed at his cowardly flurry! The Rooster approached the Eagle and asked- "Why didn't you take him up on his dare?.... you could've taken him way, way up so high and plucked him feather bare?" The Eagle said- "I know, he wouldn't have stood a chance, but just suppose....if I would have lost? Losing my dignity and self-respect as a symbol of might..... that's way too much cost!" "Instead.... I am still an Eagle....and I am going to soar! Poor Mr. Chicken.....he has a bigger problem, for his fate will soon be at his door!" The Rooster asked "Tell me, just what do you mean?.... could you please answer that for me?" the Eagle replied-"Yes.... the difference between he and I, is they don't serve Eagle at........ K...F...C!!!" (WTA-IV)
