Walking Eagle
I was out for my morning walk
and had this profound thought.
Since I am one quarter Sioux,
I knew just what I wanted to do.
So I traveled far to their reservation
and gave the chief a lengthy presentation.
He listened to all I had to say
And finally gave me an Indian name today.
From now on you’re known as Walking Eagle
and he bellowed, by my power, it is totally legal.
I ask him why he choose such title,
it’s cause of your constant, persistent recital.
He looked right straight into my eye
and said, you’re so full of IT, you simply can not fly.
