Poem
Ladies and Gentlemen of the jury, the coyote is on trial today After you have heard the facts,it will not take you long to find him guilty This case will be short, but it will not be sweet When it is all over, there will be nothing else you can say You will find out, he is not the one you want to meet You will learn of his criminal activity Rather it be two legged or four, they are all the same Like characterics are alike, the nature of the breed When caught in a trap, they will chew off that leg Man or critter, they have the same name Their heart beat, is pure greed He would like to be the keeper of the hen house, to get your nest egg It takes five of them to catch a cotton tail rabbit They are only brave when in a pack All are cry babies, when they cry at a full moon But like all criminals, creatures of habit Cross their fingers when they shake a hand, the other to stab you in the back In the old West, they would have been hung at High Noon In Southern Arizona, the Tohono O'odman Indian tribe call him this In their native tongue, he is known as "The Trickster" Both living the desert, they know his ways well Been living in the desert for centuries, seldom do they miss As the coyote paints his picture He has been called, "The Dog From Hell" Ranchers in the West, he loves to kill their cattle On the Mexican Border, drug and human smugglers are called "coyote" I tell you, he is nothing but a disgrace Dealing with him is always a battle And leaving you today, with one final note Ladies and Gentlemen, I rest my case
