Best Papoose Poems
There was a great Chief named Many Papoose,
Who with many brave's squaws played fast 'n' loose!
When in battle the Chief died,
The Chief's tribe was well supplied,
With many papoose since he was profuse!

Algonquian Papoose
A tribal warrior searching for want
The great abyss secures the tale
A hawk dives down to retrieve what is lost
Returns without, it was a fail.
Pursues the quest, perchance a dove may help
Its genteel spirit might awake
Like the hawk, the dove dives down the abyss
The time is longer, so he waits.
The dove returns, and what was sought, it brings
A man child that was fast asleep
The tribal warrior attempts to wake
Yet, like the abyss, sleep is deep.
He ponders a thought and calls the white doe
In a blink, it stood before him
It drops its head and nibbles the fresh herbs
Saunters and licks the child with vim.
Trails of herbs criss-cross its face as eyes pierce
A mouth yawns and body stretches
An Indian born enlarges the tribe
Tradition pact hereof sketches.

A BRIAN STRAND 1095
~~Brian Strand
When Papoose Shot Cat Horn Haiku
when problem with papoose
from neck have to remove noose
had to declare truce
when tired while shot
temptation off will have fought
killing cat had not
when tired while hot
would rather not sleep on cot
new bed sought and bought
when being spoiled brat
who was always fluffy and fat
had gone on my hat
when our fear increases
had a case of uresis
while being blown to pieces
when thin as a slat
cat knew between tit for tat
insane pain who should scat
her body was bare
she had been beyond compare
argued about affair
when God created cat for gift gave him friendly frat
dumber than doormat
would ride goat to Shallotte
for idiot had to vote
flipped over in his boat
when doctor would prescribe
to pharmacist did describe
so we can survive
when being on beach
fish would hatch a batch
a whale they would beach
they had been born breach
had been son with a
(Either some were born with a or some would have a )
Which are you or would you rather switch?
whole idea did ditch
people we had to impeach
learned how to be a leach
way far out of reach
you should hear them screech
when we had to switch
if we stich we should switch
trouble tried to teach
was it either who, where, why or which
loved chasing a gnat
when 59 is my class
enjoyed catching big bass
you should cut the sass
Trump Big Baby Born a Papoose
We gave up Trump saying what is the use;
Trump acts like big baby born a papoose,
Out words spitting,
And never quitting;
While in public pacifier he will produce.
