- After guzzlin' "snake juice"
- Lady Coyote
started talking loud
rapping the roma wine
with the back of her paw
- Lady Coyote
- Her political ambition, she says
- "Next Navajo tribal election
I am goin' to run....."
- That's what she said
throwin' the Roma bottle
into a nearby bush
- "When I become the Elected"
she said
with her paw clenched tight
like a AIM fist
- "Navajo women from
Low Mountain and Chinle Valley
will rally and rally
- for my campaign
just about every day
at the new courthouse,"
that's what she said
- "The Hopis took our land!
We will take back our Navajo men!
and also take their Hopi men!"
that's what she said
to her cousin
- (Sigh)
- It's only "snake juice" talk
and eatin' too much
"Big Mac" sandwiches for so long!!
