The Eagle In the Tophat

Proud, soaring,
on top of the world.
When I hear these things,
I think of an eagle.

Funny looking, Abe Lincoln,
put-on-your-head.
When I hear these things,
I think of a tophat.

But what if, what if,
there was an eagle
in a tophat.

Would he be funny looking
and on top of the world?
Maybe

But I would respect,
and maybe fear him,
because he's crazy.
