THE DOMINEERING EAGLE
AND
THE INVENTIVE BRATLING

Making observations thorough
From his station in the sky,
And presenting the appearance
Of an animated V,
Like the gulls that lend coherence
Unto paintings of the sea.

This attractive little shire,
He beheld a smallish urchin
Shooting arrows at the spire;
