Really bad poet of the day

chickenfeetFrom time to time I intend to post verse of quite spectacular awfulness. This is made easy by possession of an excellent little volume, Very Bad Poetry edited by Kathryn Petras and Ross Peters.
Today's culprit is Fred Emerson Brooks (fl. I894) and is dedicated to the Republican Party:
from Old Eagle
From thine eyrie, the crag,
Watch over thy flag.
And ne'er let it trail in the dust!
Soaring high in the air
Ever this aegis bear:
"In Freedom and God is our trust"
Fear not, grand eagle,
The bay of the beagle!
