A MIGHTY SIOUX WARRIOR

HUNTED ALL DAY IN THE SUN,

CAME HOME WITH MUCH FOOD

BEFORE THE DAY WAS DONE..

HE CREPT INTO HIS TEPEE

TO SURPRISE HIS WIFE, BY INDIAN LAW.

THERE, PERCHED UPON A TENT POLE,

SAT A GREAT MACAW.

THE PARROT SQUAWKED LOUDLY AT HIM,

AND FLEW AROUND HIS HEAD.

THE WARRIOR DUCKED AND JUMPED AWAY,

HIS BRAVE HEART FILLED WITH DREAD.

"WHERE DID THIS PARROT COME FROM?",

HE ASKED HIS LOVELY WIFE, BY INDIAN LAW.

THE PARROT ANSWERED FOR HER,

"I AM THE GREAT MACAW."

"I'VE COME TO WATCH OVER YOU

ALL THE NIGHT AND DAY.

I SHALL NEVER LEAVE YOU,

NO MATTER WHAT YOU SAY!!."

THE WARRIOR WEPT WITH GLADNESS

FOR HE HAD FOUND A FRIEND,

TO BE WITH HIM AND LOVE HIM

UNTO THE VERY END.
