How the West Was Won

<                         O ye how the west has gone won
                           now wipe those trails of tears my son
                           dance the ring of fire for fun
                           speak and learn native ways
                           learn not to speak with riffles gun
                           rustle bacon beans  Hey !

I like the way you combined history "trails of tears" with the Native American ways, Katherine. Got a kick out of the last line, imagining cowboys gathered round the fire eating bacon and beans. Congratulations on your win in Dr. Ram's contest! Love, Carolyn
