Robert L. Hinshaw Poet Couplet

Custer's Last Stand

When Sitting Bull and Colonel Custer were locked in mortal battle,

   And with arrows flying and heard was the muskets' fearsome rattle,

      Finally surrounded and when all hope was lost, Custer was heard to say,

         "You must be bull sittin' me!"  Proclaiming with his last breath, "Foul play!"
