Poetic Parody

Oh alas, alas! The Golden Age disappeared with the vanishing race

And the Unsophisticated Man has lost the free space.

The Rivers witnessed their noble faces on light canoes

Flowing along the Ontario, the Niagara, and the Missouri.

Living free in open garden free of seeds of all evils,

But the Native People Government benevolent despotism,

Destroyed the Iroquois Confederacy,

Who tried very hard to bring benevolent Democratism,

The spirit of the Tree of Great Peace refused to eat apples,

Thinking it is better to make them into cider,

Following the doctrinal sermon on original sin

But still the Noble Savage is a vanishing race

Oh alas, alas, They recognized kinship the vanishing race

But we listened only to their terrific yells.
