Yankee Harvest

   
   "Yankee Harvest"
   
When the rightly wild coyote, loose and free, was in New York observed--
It was viewed over Grant's Tomb, not barking; moreover, not a yip-like word;
Nevertheless, with a head full of stalking curiosity,
The crafty coyote wended its weird way to the Lincoln Center with agile velocity;
Indeed, the coyote is severely swift, running up to 43;
Alas, be first wise, as Alexander Pope did write and surmise under the azure sea;
Regardless, have a beer for the General; furthermore, remember the flag,
For the Stars and Stripes boast of Liberty's brag.
