Hiawatha's Ping-PongiRg.

|
Galloped homeward from the city.
Hurried onward with a package.
A neat package that he carried.
And at last, before his tepee.
Yelled: "Oh. Minnie-Minnehaha
Come and see what papa's brought you
Brought to you back from the city.
From the gay haunts of the paleface."
Out came smiling Minnehaha.
Wearing an old pair of slippers
That she'd found upon scrap-heap.
Also wearing rec bathrobe
That some fat man had discarded.
Hiawatha with his jackknife
| Cut the string and ripped the paper
And took out the little paddles
And some balls that lightly bounded
And little net and told her
OF the splendid game of ping-pong.
Told her how the proud white people,
The gay people in the city,
Played it till their clothes got soggy,
Till their backs ached and their muscles
Got all knotted up and tangled.
Minnehaha poked fun at him
As he fixed up an cid barn door
On two stumps behind the tepee.
This" she said. may do for children
But shall noble Hiawatha
Shall my tall and handsome warrior
Monkey with those little paddles?
Shall the buck who slays the panther
And who calmly chokes the wildcat
Fool with such a game as this is?"
Never mind" said Hiawatha;
Take yon paddle and get ready"
Then he swiftly served a twister.
and the bail. in bouncing, struck her
On the nose and made 1t tingle.
Here" she hollered. try it over.
And III knock 1t through the treetops,
/ will send it through the rushes.
And across the soughing sedges,
SO blamed far you'll never find it."
Hiawatha served it swiftly,
And the gentle Mime haha
Tripped upon her old red bathrobe.
Stepped upon a trailing corner.
In her eagerness. her hurry.
lripped and turned an airy iipfap.
Rose up in the circumambient
Atmosphere and lost slipper
Rose and yelled for Hiawatha
To be kind enough to stop her.
Rose. and, with her red robe waving
Like frightful danger signal
Turned a time or two on nothing,
And then landed in a puddle
Where the tadpOles loved 10 frolic.
Hiawatha. the tail warrior.
Rushed around and bent above her.
CRYING: Here. my Minnchahd.
Here / am--I'ye come to help you"
Up she rose and out she waded.
saying things to him in Injun
That. alas. cannot be printed:
nd she grabbed the ret ana tore it
Into more than sixty pieces;
she knocked down the door and smash
ed It.
And then grabbed a pins-pong paddle
and went after Hiawatha.
] hrice she chased him round the tepee,
Holding up the dripping bathrobe;
On one foot she wore a slipper,
On the other she had nothing.
Save some smearings from the muck
pond.
Here and there he hurried. lodging
Things she grabbed up and threw at him.

That she'd make him when she caught
