Love it! Was that Spike Milligan by any chance?

One of my favourites since I was about five is The Eagle by Tennyson, short and simple but very evocative...

He clasps the crag with crooked hands;
Close to the sun in lonely lands,
Ringed with the azure world, he stands.

The wrinkled sea beneath him crawls;
He watches from his mountain walls,
And like a thunderbolt he falls.
