Spring On the Potomac

With apologies to Robby Burns and Sweet Afton - in celebration of Spring, and the return of our Bald Eagle family to their Great Falls home on the bonnie banks O’Burn Potomac:

Oh to be in Great Falls,
Now that Spring is on us,
Hearing baby eaglet calls,
A break from BREXIT chaos, 
…and Trumpish walls and childish flaws,
…the wallaper, numpty, fanny baws “in Chief” - such grief. 
So find your peace from the newest leaf of Spring, 
…and singing eagle parents soaring on the wing 
…bringing tasty scran to their eager eaglet fledgling  


To illustrate this poem there are picture's of a Bald Eagle's nest with parent and two youngsters, Trump in Scotland, spring foliage and cherry blossoms along the Potomac.  But I could not copy and paste here.
