brave chieftains

I'll capture them fat I'll capture them scrawny.

I'll capture a scraggle-foot mulligatawny,

A high stepping animal fast as the wind

From the blistering sands of the desert of zind.

This beast is the beast that the brave chieftains ride

when they want to go fast to find some place to hide.

I found this really funny if you have read a war book where the general runs away on a horse and leaves his entire army to get captured when he is about to lose. like in the American Revolution,

Major General Heratio Gates' 170 mile retreat at the Battle of Camden, after 1000 of his men got captured.
