Deep in the forest, under the trees,
Lies a world of secrets, hidden with ease.
A code that only a few can decipher,
The language of Choctaw, like a magical cipher.

The code talkers spoke in glyphs and signs,
Their messages hidden in the undergrowth vines.
To interpret their words was a special skill,
A secret code that only a chosen few could reveal.

With bravery and skill, they fought in the war,
Their code kept the enemy at bay, kept them afar.
The code talkers' secret, so clever and true,
Saved many lives, and their country too.

So young ones, learn about this special code,
About the brave code talkers, who on battlefields strode.
And know that in every code lies a mystery to solve,
And with a little effort, you too can be a code talker, bold and evolved.
