- Home Geronimo and the Bush Family Curse  
By: Hubert Wilson

Chiricahua Apache leader's Fort Sill grave
Opened by Lieutenant Prescott Bush - a desecrating knave.
Nocturnal theft of Geronimo's femurs and skull.
Delivered to Yale for Skull and Bones to mull!
Each subsequent generation
Meeting ever more damnation.
Nazi rumored financial dealings
Always haunt Prescott as more than just unappealing.
Twice his son George H. W. barely escaped death.
Increasingly more like a tragic family MacBeth!
Only way to end the mounting curse,
Nobly return Geronimo's remains - or it only gets worse?

About this poem:
Geronimo aka Goyaale aka Goyathlay (6-16-1829 - 2-17-1909) R.I.P. - or does he?
