Debbie Guzzi Poet Limerick

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!

Carolyn Devonshire December 7, 2010 at 6:02 PM 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
