I don't know
When did the spiciness begin?
I don't know
Is it all because of me?
I don't know

Very nice, immediately recognizable, ha! Clever idea with that speech bubble.
"Then he'd look off someplace in the distance
At something only he could see
He'd say, 'All that's left now of the old days:
Those [censored] old coyotes and me.'

One morning, they searched his adobe
He disappeared without even a word
But that night, as the moon crossed the mountain
One more coyote was heard."
