POEM: Geronimo!

June 20, 2012 · Scotorum

GERONIMO!

Written to the tune “Apache” as played by The Shadows

This tale of the West I relate;
eighteen eighty-six was the date.
Apaches on rampage did run,
killing with fire, knife and gun.

Geronimo led that assault
on hit-and-run-raids none could halt.

Old General Crook tried to talk.
But Geronimo just took a walk.
Till Miles wrote revolt’s epitaph,
employing the heliograph.

Geronimo went on to fame;
a celebrity once he was tame.
Selling his own autograph,
he finally had the last laugh.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
