The Day the Eagle Is Defeated

The day The Eagle is defeated The incident shall be repeated: All transmitting stations televise it, The rarely praised tongues loosen in wit! Born - to - Rule Valiant of All Seasons To be lambasted for four reasons: Who had off switched its amazing wings Or had God said "it's time to spoil things"? What had it done to matchless vision Begun to things sights in division? Could Mortifying Beak go on strikes, Suddenly curve less because this likes? What can have happened to stunning speed: Rehearsals ended that would it feed? The day The Eagle is Defeated Furnace of 'Why' shall be reheated. The Remotest cause solicited The sweetened truth not prohibited.
