You were subconciously trying to decide if you like “The Lion Sleeps Tonight” better than “Fly Like An Eagle”. Obviously The Tokens beat out Steve Miller.
OK, but you’re NOT gonna get me to drink my beer warm.
My take is that the eagle is the symbol of freedom, since it flies. Or maybe it’s a reminder that your Goodyear Eagle tires need to be rotated. Or else you’re going to have some free time to go on a road trip. That’s probably it.
The lioness symbolizes the raw ferocity of nature, red of tooth and claw. The fact that the lioness and the eagle fight means that when you go on your road trip, you’ll probably drive through one of those wildlife parks, where you’re cooped up in your car, and baboons peel the trim stripes and windshield wipers off your car. Better get a rental for this part of the trip, and get the extra insurance if the offer it.
I like it.
What’s the water?
You don’t live on Manhattan but would like to.
Alternatively - feed your cat before you miss your canary.
He needed to get up and go to the bathroom.
People, people, you need to be thinking more sublime thoughts. I’m looking for grand scale prophecy or the insights into the mystical engine of the universe, not reminders to return my library books (thanks for that tip, though – they were all due today).
Fine, be that way. Ahem…
In the shadow of the fourth house
A patch of soil lies bare
On moonless nights, as Aquila shines
A child may be heard weeping
A lustful god courses the Sea of Stars
Talons outstretched, seeking to seize
Yet they pierce not the Lion of Nemea
A mother, fierce, defends the prey
O Lion, unregarded guardian
Though you devour the King of Gods
You cannot hold the child who fears you
And must some day set foot upon Mount Olympus
I dunno about sublime and grand; when I start dreaming about looking for a toilet, it means I have to get up and pee. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. 
The book was Mutiny on The Bounty.
Okay then, the universe is not getting enough sex.
Or maybe it’s time to take the universe’s mystical engine in for an oil change. I’d recommend adding a little Marvel Mystery Oil while you’re at it.
