"The Mesa was hotter than, 'HELL!'
As an Apache Tribe tried to survive?"
'Yes, The Summer of 1834 was less than pure."
'Yes, the HEAT was demure and bane."
'Such a Pity and such a Shame."
...
'Blame it on the Plain."
"Cruel as Cruel could ever be...
"Be for the Proud and Fearsome, Apache...
...
Tribes were here and Tribes were there but fried Eggs on a rock?"
"Lets just say...
"This was definitely, a 'Want Not Place!'
"No Food, Nor Buffalo?"
"For The Buffalo's Day hath come and was overdue."

"Yes, no Hide of Beast for Warmth and Food for this tribe."
'Not even a Shin nor Hide!"
"So very few, The Indian and Buffalo had their Due."
"No, 'Peace of Pipe.'
"Nor, 'Peyote for the Cherokee?"
"Doesn't seem fair except to 'The United States of America."
'Bound and Blamed' at the almost immanent demise."
"No Surprise."

"No Compare...

"Need to Think!"
"Beaver Tail, Tiny Snail, Keeping Warm, little Worm."
"Snow and Ice?"
{Not Very Nice!}
...
"But that Terrible of Heat?"
"Was now cold on Sandaled Feet."
"No Eskimo Pie nor Fur or Modern Man?"
"Heated Underwear nor 'Mercedes Benz."
...
"Just unending Pain and Miseries...
"Miseries Around the Bend....
"For this once Proud...
"Our Ancestors...
"The American *Indian."

*Indian:
"The next time you see an 'American Indian?'
"Realize that they are more than 'Red Skin' and a 'Bottle of Whiskey.'
Or a 'Cup of English Tea.'
