Students! Stop your soaring! Come and perch by me.
We are the true Sea Eagles and our Kingdom is the sea.
The humans, whom we study, cannot leave the ground
And travel far below us, often with much sound!
Today, you’ll likely see, some boatloads cruising by,
With tourists’ eyeballs peeled, our gyrations to espy,
They are both proud and envious, of our presence here,
But thankfully we are not shot, so don’t live in constant fear.
In fact, my children, you may collect, some tidbits from their boat,
Remember you’re designed to fly – do not try to float
Your flying skills will amaze, so answer every call,
To catch some gift, you might try, A controlled inverted stall!
A word of caution! Do observe, in close order flying
Denying problems can occur, would indeed be lying.
Look ahead, beware the flash, these days it has been known,
They may hold a dreadful thing, called a mobile telephone!
