Have you heard the legend
about an Indian princess
who fell in love
with the wrong man?
Her father was tribal chief
he forbade the romance
no man was good enough
for his little girl
He caught his lovely daughter
naked in her lover's arms
he swore the youth
would suffer a most painful death
Fresh from the evening hunt
hepointed with a maniacal grin
to the bloody scalp
tied high on his belt
The princess lost her mind
and jumped in the muddy waters
of Lake Ronkonkoma
her watery grave
If you walk along the shore
you may hear her moan
mourning her lost love
over and over
Throw a rock in the water
see if stops the wailing
see if it stops the pain
see if it stops
~ Roberta A. McQueen
