Woven Olla

Randy Walker Day in Santa Fe
Artist at the Southside Library
Came by to see you guys
Guess you were gone

Papa Max and Lulee
O where did they go?
Mayor David is looking for you.


Rainwater Olla
Sustain woven olla,
Randy Blue and Orange fibers
     Sustain cousin Jeremy Walker
     Such a talker
     A walking encyclopedia
Rainwater Olla


Randy Walker Day in Santa Fe
O-e-she Tokyo Grill Sushi Bar
Came by to see you guys
Guess you were gone

Papa Max and Lulee
Went away to Santa Fe
To see woven olla strung up above


Rainwater Olla
Sustain woven olla
Randy Red and yellow fibers
     Sustain cousin Walker
     Such a talker
     A walking dictionary
Rainwater Olla
