two tricky guys
raven and coyote swinging around the clubs
at night, jigging away, swinging by cafes,
doing their dubs of poetry,
i pray they didn't change anything ...
like they usually do
but when they're together, that raven and coyote ...
you never know.
raven and coyote up to their old tricks
on the west coast, boasting and toasting
clinking their glasses on new year's day.
i fear they're making plans for us humans
but, i am convinced there's gotta be a lesson
and teaching in all what they do even if it's sure to be a mistake ...
which is it likely to be ...
i saw raven and coyote
one time at a pow wow
dancing with crow doing the hop
when coyote sneaks in a karate chop with flips and dips, enticing crow
making her caw as she was freaking then falling
down at coyote's paw and he sure did blush
at the sight of crow's skirt up over her head
coyote said with a bow, i am honoured. crow
but let's take it slow. you're just too fast for me!
and i think to myself, that sly coyote
so smooth, so slick, trying to trick crow ...
I cause we all know he's just too fast for any of us!
cheers to raven and coyote
who make us laugh and listen
perk your ears to hear their stories,
and keep close to mother earth
but watch your back for those two tricky guys
in their furry suit and ties ... 'cause you never know
what is next with those freaky sneaks!
