Good thing, I admit, I’m no Indian:
I wouldn’t be “Ray”. No, instead,
I’d be to the braves, at their sober conclaves,
“Long-Time-Stayum-In-Bed.”
It’s not that I’m lacking ambition–
I scalpum my share–but it’s just
Hunting wampum, this chief finds plenty of grief
In this world if I rise when I MUST!
