Tall Horse Poem by Lamar Cole

Tall Horse was a great Indian warrior.
And his teepee had the sign of the bear.
It was his spirit animal.
And it gave him great power.
Tall Horse had a vision that someday he would become chief.
And that he would fight many great battles.
And slay many enemies.
His vision did become true.
He fought bravely in many battles.
And brought his enemies to their knees.
He was held in great esteem by his tribe.
And his chief offered his daughter to be Tall Horse's bride.
Tall Horse was very honored.
She was a pretty young thing.
Who had dark-brown eyes and long straight black hair.
They had many children together.
Unfortunately for Tall Horse.
His wife's nympho humping had begun to sap his strength.
He rode into battle early one morning.
And he was killed by a warrior from another tribe.
As he lay dying.
He wished that he had been able to pass on his wife's good humping.
