the eagle egg

willyweed

A farmer found an eagle egg- lying in his field

 

He put it in his chicken coop- to see what it might yield

 

In time it hatched and grew up- this eagle knew no better

 

He thought he was a chicken- a bird of a feather

 

One day out in the barnyard- he saw an eagle flying high

 

He asked the rooster, what is that - Flying in the sky

 

The rooster said; an eagle son a mighty bird of prey

 

They soar up in the heavens- for freedom is their way

 

The rooster said “forget it boy”- We chickens just don’t fly

 

We peck our food out of the dirt- that’s how we all get by

 

The chicken eagle felt a pang and said that is what- “I want to be”

 

He said good-bye to rooster and left to go and see

 

He flew up to the heavens with the eagles soaring free!

 

 

 

‘So never let anyone tell you who it is, you ought to be!’
