swiming towards camp chatty as prarie dogs,
they hail from a Teton encampment of 74 lodges a few miles up river

The date
July Twenty Eight
The year, 1914

He reluctantly accepts this moniker as our elder
A name for which he feels disdain

The swack,swack, swack, sound
Of a helicopter inbound,

By it’s crew now disbanded,
The horrors of war,
