042910r Burning Tree Poem by Manonton Dalan

send the braves to see the grass
watch the redcoats; avoid a clash
learn how to fish the lake on ice
a deed we always come to despise

those turtles in cave could be food
many, it could be something good
lets open one what could we find
if a flesh could be a find to dine

leaves are about to break from tree
tatangka will surely come to play
sharpened those arrows at will
we’ll have so many sleds to fill

settle your troubles before water flow
we have a lot of work; everybody know
over the river, the hills and the prairie
the bearded men started burning tree
