WHOA !

UMPTEENTH ADVENTURE
ZEPATA, EL DAYO, CREEKETS, &C.

El Dayo, famous hoe-werse of Zepata,
Under cover of darkness and unbeknownst
To his master who slips by the campfire
With his amigos and dear creekets –
Slippin’ soundly all –
Takes an innocent step over the border
between Mayheeko and the Yewknighted Stits
in his unintentional meandering
as he does on a restless night
But under full watchful saddle, always ready;
Unaware he is of the bad offices
many Americanos have toward
undocumented (alien) and therefore
illegal hoe-werses, and others with suspiciously wet backs,

no matter if only slathered after a hard run.

WHOA! Cries a twitchy Zepata,
Roused from slumber by a glowing ember
Sprung from the fire and searing his
Battle-scarred face.
WHOA there, my belawv-ed hoe-werse!
You not going there, me fren’.

No matter to them if you live among them
Pissfully
No matter if you work like a hoe-werse
You are needed here, mi amigo;
Withdraw your hoof and take one step back,
Rejoin your true compadres,
One for all, and all for one!
Stay, Dayo, stay…………..

Dayo obeys

but his eyes bulge

at the curious ways of min.
