Cowboys did not have space for a guitar in their belongings when they were on a long cattle drive, but most just opted to bring a harmonica instead. But not Henry.

The guitar is not actually tiny – Enrique is just 12 feet tall.

Small hands, big… Ummm… sombrero!

/// An enormous sombrero’s his lid.
Perfect English is not what he did.
Never played the head honcho,
Carrillo (Leo) was “Pancho,”
funny sidekick— rides with Cisco Kid.

Because he was sunbathing daily/
Enrique doid not “loiter palely”/
Nor did the guitar/
Which made him a star/
But has shrunk to a mere ukulele…///
In the Plaza each afternoon/
Enrique would tootle a tune/
And do marvelous things/
Though those shortening strings/
Meant disaster was coming – and soon.///
Now Enrique’s existence is drab/
And he’s added a few layers of flab/
He’s in need of a diet/
And the Plaza is quiet:/
Enrique is driving a cab.
Solstice*1947 about 2 years ago
/// Ukuleles, he plays, fingers flyin’—
so, (all jokes aside), no use denyin’
he may seem Chicano,
or pure Mexicano,
but this Troubador is a Hawaiian.

It was originally The Four Musketeers but Enrique never quite fit in so he traded his long sword for a short guitar, funny hat, and a solo career.
