THE RED MAN'S WATERLOO. 



NIXON WATERMAN, IN L. A. W. BULLETIN. 



Then the verdant Hiawatha 



Sought to give the gleeful ha-ha! 



To the people of his wigwam, 



To the red men of his village, 



So a shining cycle bought he 



Of the pale-face, Ananias, 



Which he, smiling, hurried homeward 



On his faithful Indian pony. 



Called he then the braves together. 

 Told them they were " dead slow," " N 

 That the ancient Indian equine 

 Was a woozy, wamp back-number! 

 Brought he forth his wheel and mounted; 

 Came the sounds of distant thunder, 

 Shook the mighty oaks in wonder: 

 Stars of many colors mingled. 



On the neck of Hiawatha 



Jumped the steed of steel and rubber, 



Plowed its hoofs into his stomach, 



Kicked him first on this side, that side, 



Turned him inside out and churned him, 



While the tribe looked on and ha-ha'd, 



Till the weary Hiawatha 



Seized his " bike " and tomahawked it.
