An Eagle and a Goose
As metaphors go, this one is a gem,
A tale of an eagle and goose
Engaged in behavior we cannot condemn;
Their nature allows no excuse.
It happened in Canada, witnesses say;
The eagle (a bald one) attacked
And those who observed this amazing display
Were so shocked they could barely react.
For the Canada goose, who was feisty and brave,
Fought for twenty long minutes and won,
Since the eagle decided he might as well cave
When he realized that he’d been outdone.
The political world must have chuckled a bit
(Well, I’m sure all Canadians did),
Though Republicans, lacking in virtue and wit,
Will, retweeting this story, forbid.
