Bbrandish Your Talent Poem by Barry A. Lanier

The tenacious spawning salmon,
Swimming upstream against all odds,
Dogged determination toward her destination,
To lay those fifty thousand eggs her job
While the ole' hen at home lays only one.
The salmon never cackles or struts about,
In celebration of what she's done.
While we might discount the salmon,
The cackling hen we adore and prize.
It takes not King David's wisdom to know,
Surely it pays to parade and advertise.
