The Mighty Aaron Eagar


On the twenty-second day of March good Aaron Eagar
earned a letter from the Governor (and so a free star).
The Utah County Weed Department was recognized, through him,
for pursuing noxious weeds with vigor, stealth, and vim.
 His dedication to eradication of these weeds
has him raising them in Orem from their common seeds
just so he can figure out what poisons will work best
to lay those dandelions to their final deserved rest.
He is a foe to pigweed and to hoary cress, you bet!
Spotted spurge he decimates; he gives henbit cold sweat.
The mighty Aaron Eagar simply laughs at downy brome.
He uproots ev'ry puncturevine, right by the rhizome!
All you thistles, mallows, and sharp nettles please take heed --
you'll be endangered species now, in word and very deed!
