Eagle Illustration of poem: A Man of Words and Not of Deeds A man of words and not of deeds Is like a garden full of weeds And when the weeds begin to grow It's like a garden full of snow And when the snow begins to fall It's like a bird upon a wall And when the bird away does fly It's like a tiger in the sky And when the sky begins to roar It's like a lion at your door And when your door begins to crack It's like a stick across your back And when you back begins to smart It's like a penknife in your heart And when your heart begins to bleed You're dead, and dead, and dead indeed.
