ha!

Here's my attempt:

I've met five Chiefs of the US Forest Service,
three of them while standing at the urinal.
For all their awards and honors,just men
like me, who love the things that grow wild
and protect them. Men just like me.

a chief attempt

Chief BuddhaTree

shake
we shook't em
look't em in the eye
with my one good eye
didn't blink
chiefs among men
look't the same

shake
we shook't em
'cross the table
power enabled
time to think
chiefs among men
not playing that same old game

so come on chief
Chief BuddhaTree
set us free
we are all the same
to a bird

shake
we shook em
upside down
inside out
twisting twisting
all about
oh yeah we shook em
and shout
HONIMNYO!!
and fly.

honimnyo is a gentle buddhist gem
it kinda means put the past to rest--
"from this moment on"
(and shouldn't be shouted)
I could of misspelled it-- it was in my scribblings and looked it up in One Look (http://www.onelook.com/)
and couldn't find it--- so if its not quite right -- that's
what I meant.
