JJ’S RAP (from JJ’s point of view)

My name is JJ... I am da only one

The favored eaglet... I like to dodge da sun

The peeps like to view me.... from around da world

They can't even tell if I'm a boy or girl.

I have the best parents.... an eaglet can have

They spoil me rotten with coots 'n' rabbits...and never get mad

My parents built me a nest.... they made a big mound

I like to wiggle to the edge....with my new wing feathers hanging down

They feed me coot and carp..... snakes and bunny rabbits

I get my tummy so full at times, I just fall over and kinda Nap Zit

My daddy is my provider....he brings da biggest things

Mama can hunt for us too...but she lets daddy think he's king!!

For those who've come to know me... watch me grow and chat about

You can see that I am healthy, and growing pretty stout

My fluffy down is leaving me...which makes me very happy

For this can only mean one thing....soon I ‘ll be soaring with Mom and Daddy

Da Sutton site provides the cams… three cams last time I counted

But Oklahoma weather’s hard on them…. they may not now be mounted

EG and all his helpers….. will do the best they can

To get the cams back up & running…they know I’m such a HAM

All my favorite peeps are wondering…. just how big I am today

There’s Mama, Rubydo, CT , Kardsharp…. Walks, Af, Mac n’ more

Won’t they be surprised when they next see me ......I’m almost ready to fledge to da shore

It’s been a couple days now, I been look’n to da camera….

Peek-a boo… do you see me…Jolie ,Jilly, Wings and Sally?

Well here it is, we’re in ta May….. da cams they’re back and showing

All the peeps dat love me true to core, just how much I’m growing

My folks have rearranged da place, they want me to flap my wings

They took away da baby gate, the coots and other things

I am an Okie eaglet, raised up at Sooner Lake

And if you know our weather, you know da winds aren’t always straight

I’ve been very brave here lately…flapp’n my wings around da nest

I actually lifted up a bit… but Mom put me back in my place

These days here at da nest are numbered…I know this to be true

I do want to tell all da peeps out there…I will miss each & every one of you

Soon I’ll soar like an eagle …high on wings of grace

Flying through the Heavens ...where I can almost see God’s face

EG has been looking… at all my outer parts

He’s very, very intelligent…which means he’s pretty smart

He calculated measurements and based on what he knows

He says I am a girl… which just goes to show

It was my motherly instinct… perhaps dream’n of things to come

It’s the reason why I cuddled him; I loved lil’ Eggbert with all my heart

As it sometimes happens in nature, it wasn’t meant to be

I had no eaglet siblings, besides… WHO would have been cuter than ME???

I heard the peeps were betting …on just what day I’d fledge

They watch with anticipation…my practice jumps n’ hops took me to the edge

Then on the 16^th of June…… a very early Tuesday morning

When most of my fans were sleeping….I took that faithful plunge

Then much to my surprise…I wasn’t sure just why

I actually was flying……my wings lifted me into the sky

They took me higher and higher…than I had ever been

This was the most wonderful feeling that I have ever had

It made me feel so grown up…and some of my peeps… well …they cried

There were tears mixed with emotions… tears of joy and sadness too

For they now knew I had made it, which was their wish for me to do.

I love my new found freedom…the view is so beautiful up here

I still depend on Mom and Dad… they are always very near

They will feed me for a while longer… I now hang out in a tree

I just want to squawk to the world…I am free… free… FREE!!!

For this is my purpose in life …to fly high and free

No human contact, no bands to be placed on me

Then one day when my head feathers turn white

I will find a mate of my own and maybe, just maybe then

I might return to this very site
