the Medicine man
he say
Having high honeyed wines for a period of time
can damage your blood vessels and nerves, including
the ones that supply your childhood homes even
This can restrict the amount of water pumping the well
flowing to your cosy room,
so you can lose some warm feelings and happiness
This could mean you have difficulty getting to dance
around and sing
both physically and in how you feel

the medicine man
he say
do not mind the crazy truth of the false shaman
who lost his head when he saw his little horn spirit
that never comes up at digging times
I the wise medicine man
know you have to be clean always for its easy to catch the pox
and you have to measure and time everything
or else you're out for the count
for the aches and pains of a feeble body
hurts even for candles in dry climates
the shaman calls the truth is nothing but a cheap senseless
charlatan
he's born of a ***** and sells his potions to ******
and he lives with Ali baba and the forty thieves
