Eagle

Bar none, the eagle, sought. Two par as golf ball hits the green. Akin to sailing a yacht - money speaks on the screen. He was a swinger, growing up, sundry-sized clubs in hands. Would receive jug, jacket, cup. Victorious, he’d sell brands. His first eagle was a high - pop…pop, onto the green. Spot on coordination, hand-eye - against the odds, only thirteen. Camille sprang for an albatross, a show off, a trophy at thirteen - a rare double-eagle; shows who’s boss. Student’s million-to-one shot was keen. The shot heard ‘round the earth. She’s activating all kinds of smarts. How much will Kenosha girl be worth? The pop…pop breaking hearts.

Not all together clear on this one... but a little birdie inside tells me it's way up there in the air -- where only eagles dare - Joe Cocker and Jennifer Warren
