Thanksgiving came late for these Bald Eagles, <br />A truckload full of fish for human consumption became their feast. <br />No such dietary rules were in effect, <br />For their meal was continuous and did not cease. <br />They became gluttons and drunk with Omega 6'sand 3's, <br />And were not able to eat/drink and fly, <br />They soiled their feathers, <br />-could not clean them for they were rotund, <br />The ambient temperature fell to well below freezing and some of them would die. <br />The remaining birds were cleaned and heated in a warehouse, <br />-the ones that did survived, <br />Now the species that is America’s symbol will be alive. <br />The fad diets usually publicize their selves well, <br />In the aftermath of holiday's weapons of mass waist destruction, <br />If only we can only teach the birds how not to pig out, <br />Then we can have bald eagles around for a lot longer. <br />They would flourish once again. <br />But now is the question to how to treat their baldness, <br />Can you do something for their head, like Rogaine? <br /> <br />(1-12-2008)<br /><br />Joe Rosochacki<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/nutri-system-and-jenny-craig-are-for-the-birds/
