Want To Do Your Best

Want To Do Your Best

Eagle was with white wings which were elegant
And wherever he would fly or even had went
Was majestic, glorious and also so mighty
Taking all things seriously and never lightly.

Flew with fine effort that he could not quit
And every time his mate had made an eaglet
Outside often had been harsh and was raining
He still took youngsters for flying training.

One day after he did drink a few night caps
Suddenly did dive ending up in a total collapse
And his story had a mighty miserable moral
Life comes to an end when you miss the portal.

What he did was fly into a wide wall instead
And of course sure enough ended up dead
Had to give away all rights that were declarant 
And died due to being a pretty poor parent.

So this surely thought that I should suggest
When you really want to do your very best
Encourage education to become more eclectic
And become a pleasant parent who is poetic.

James Thomas Horn, Retired Veteran

When will he be coming back and is he in the Army Infantry? That surely must be a miserable place. Jim Horn
