On National Symbols
Politics, a science or art at best;
Adept at controlling the human quest;
Passing laws that regulate ebb and flow;
Trading favors with quid pro quo;
Imagine, if you will;
Established by congressional bill;
A select committee on national things;
With a Helms or Thurmond in the wings;
Speculate with me as we progress;
Through a mock hearing;
On the Bald Eagle's prowess;
Rap, rap, rap, this hearing is in session;
As chair of this group, I'll teach you a lesson;
I want to state publicly;
This job is no hobby;
And I have no ties to the wild turkey lobby;
Now, Mr. Eagle it's been said aloud;
That you hang with an unsavory crowd;
You've been seen eating your fill;
At the site of some recent road kill;
Aaaannnndddddd.....;
You've created a major uproar;
While with salmon in talons you did soar;
According to sources, with no reason
You did your fishing out of season;
Furthermore....... Baldy;
You've been spotted flying high;
Making passes at your mistress in the sky;
The details are as yet unclear;
But we may have a case of harassment here;
It's clear to me;
And plain for all to see;
As a national symbol you are unfit and unable;
Your motion denied, left here on the table;
Rap, rap, rap..........next petition please;
Harumph, Harumph, where are those turkey people?
