So effortless, his flight above the prairie,  
His wingspan, a magnificent eight feet.  
The turtle and the rabbit best be wary,  
this raptor's out there looking for a treat.  
He soars, the thermal lifting wing and feather,  
a buoy on the hot breath of the sun.  
The cloudless sky is eagle kind of weather,  
though he will hunt and do what must be done  
in any -- he is well known for his daring,  
this undisputed king of all the birds  
who lends his royal character and bearing  
to crests of fallen empires and to words  
that celebrate those victories of old.  
And not at all embarrassed to be bald.
