    I think I'm going to try. I'm moving this month, starting Friday, and need to be finished by the 17th. And my disclaimer is, I give no warranties to the quality of what I post! I've missed you, this will be fun!

    Metaphor


    To the congressman who compared a Red-tailed Hawk
    to an abortion doctor, let me say this:
    before you grab a metaphor and run with it,
    you might want to check the company
    you drag along, willing
    or otherwise (Bald Eagle, Bald Eagle),
    you better make sure you run with shoes that fit
    the job and not some cheaply reworded
    faux brand that pinches in the long haul
    because the terrain can get unpredictable
    like if you, say, stumble
    and find you’ve compared a fetus
    to a disemboweled rodent. Yes,
    everyone makes mistakes, but you
    must finish this race.
    You might also consider the fans,
    fourth-graders, bright and rapacious as their beloved raptor
    whose red-orange tail flares best
    in mid-day sun as it soars
    and dives for its prey - it
    and they will spot a rat long before this race
    is over. With a little luck, they'll let you crawl
    the last hundred yards intact,
    more or less, and reward you
    a well-deserved handful of turkey feathers.

    As my daughter might say 'BOOM!' (Bald eagle, blad eagle)

    Biting, that one. I like the ending, and also like that I can infer the meaning, though I'm not picking up on all the cultural references.

    Hey Laurie,

    I hadn't heard of this but found the story online, although I pretty much followed along without it. Having said that, knowing background makes it even more bizarre. I enjoy how you take this metaphor, run with it and have fun with it.

    Great start to the month.

    Wow. Wow wow wow. Boggling at the senator; impressed by your ability to skewer him rather than just standing in open-mouthed bogglement. The turkey feathers are perfect.

    Since this is an image friendly thread, I would like to offer you some ice for that sick burn.

    Laurie, New Hampshire does that to the best of us. Hilarious! Glad to share the revolutionary NaPo spirit with you. Maybe we should make some turkey feather headdresses.
