Cyrenian Simon, Elected Again

At Injun Camp, the Irish Chiefstress
Deemed Slow-Clark, "Freckled Mushroom"
"Horse and prey-birds are all occupied," said she

And can you fathom war-paint activity?
Was snow-powder and big top putty for poor Freck

Then, Stomping Hoof--who'd titled himself "mini-chief"--
Found a timely quotation:
"Calvary tribe climbship, " it read,
"Always requires a willingness to volunteer"
