In Old California 5

Rancho San Luis Ore encompassed plain of Laurius between the mountains nigh. "Vicioso", ferocious grizzly, bane to Miquel's peace of mind, lived close near by. Don Miquel's spirit made him need to try to capture honey loving beast for sport. This ursine'll be soon tied where hives do lie, for vaqueros love most that play of sort. The Laurius grass plain was valley wide, reward to Jose, Miquel's pater old. For service great to Spanish monarch's pride against French reign, for being captain bold. The plain's worth many fine doubloons of gold, an everlasting feed for cattle need. But other eyes do covet Miquel's hold, and claim that plain's held by outdated deed.
