Hello dear Papier Ma’che papoose.
Do you use paprika on your plums?
Babies do not talk, papoose thought.
This grandma must be all kinds of dumbs....

A papoose with a twin is papooses,
Double goose and get geese, but not gooses.
Pluralizing perplexes me,
Aggravates me, and vexes me,
And I suspect that it checks my creative juices.

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.

His warriors called him Chief Randy Moose

   Since with young maidens he played fast and loose

      He was very prolific

         His stamina terrific

            He enlarged his tribe with many papoose...

Poor ole, Father Goose
Always "letting it hang loose"
Creating every year, Another papoose
As if he, enjoys the abuse
Of being confined like 'the Juice'
Merely, having around his neck, a Noose
Unable to find for that Thing, other use
If only he could, SOMEHOW, call a truce...

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!

My politician is the cosmos,
that unending piece of star filled canopy
that wraps my soul 
to sleep each night.
I'm a swaddled papoose 
on it's immortal back,
just for the ride.
It's the happy magician that rules
a hundred thousand thoughts....
Sun and moon are the curtains of the macrocosm,
that shrinks your small words 
of what holds today....

only me to take a wok of sauté or call it a walk
the streets of brooklyn very silent I made sure
left right two feet and a foot up my ass
but two hands do the talking of a name
every one call me when they see such piercing
I left my beau and arrow with papoose in a taxi
of yellow or green and hubber anon a mouse
the middle finger say thank you for the smoke...

Dream catcher made of turtle shell
Elemental magic, soul bringer, dream walker
Enlightens papoose, savoring his knowing smile.

Grandfather Shaman feeds the fire
Whose pleasure to warm is well-known in teepees.
Tribal spirit faeries hide in furs 

Braves will return tomorrow 
Hopefully from a good hunt.
Innocent ones sleep soundly,
Unworried, on small pox blankets....

Poor Sacagawea we will no longer see.
She was replaced by the “Father of our Country”.
Just like predecessor Susan B. Anthony,
Sac’s image is no longer on our money.
Some presidents are there now.  You have bid adieu.
You carried your papoose on the front in plain view.
Before the dollar coin, we knew nothing about you.
It seems women are done no justice by the Mint.
As was Sue, your presence was less than permanent.

Velvet Raven my fawn,
braids of deepest coal black.
You are my breaking dawn,
having you would I lack?
Pretty prairie blossom,
I am sadly lonesome.

Wipe away this aching,
my heart feels for you strong.
Know not you are stealing
my thoughts all day long?
I cant eat and sleep much,
I want your close touch,

Be squaw cooking my food,
tending new papoose near,
cutting wickiup's wood
working skinning doe deer.
I will baffalo kill,
so our stomachs might fill....
