Ornithology

Vain as an owl, wry as crane,
Wise as a goose, the eagle flies
Miles overhead, and weakly smiles.
Proud in its feathers, crying aloud
Hollow inside, with no compass to follow
Ruling in circles, hunting and fooling,
Bird-brained and loud; a fool, in a word,
Squandering freedom on noisy wandering,
Winked, as its innards went slowly extinct.
