Indian Simmer

There once was a sweet Shawnee squaw Who left home and Ma and her Paw They had given her life But he’d wanted a WIFE! So she left with that brave Checotah. The Checotah brave was a knave Made his fine Shawnee bride his slave she ditched his rawhide And left on his ride That’ll teach that guy to behave! Well, the horse was a fine pinto mare Who loved men and for squaws had NO care the woman got off The mare she caste off And returned to the Checotah’s lair!

Very witty, Deb! If this is for the Indian Giver contest, I wish you success. Really like the way the Shawnee bride "ditched his rawhide." Scratching my head wondering why the horse preferred the brave over the bride. Love, Carolyn
