Cross Eyed Eagle Stripe Dog Mongrel

Here is cross-eyed Eagle Stripe Dog Mongrel Luckily he cannot see his own donkey like face consternation galore when he is afoot nonsensical war paints make other braves snicker squaws consider him a smoking warm bird roost ceremonial nightmare when he enters the sweat lodge no one shames him, for he is son of the chief a steady excruciating embarrassment to his tribe laughing stock of reservation until he learns English. The only Wallawalla who can bring his nation The steady conniving lies of the paleskins. He shows them treaty after treaty But of course the paleskins keep none of them for there is no honor there.
