The Legend of Two Toes
Listen close to how this story goes, about an old bird, they called two toes.
He weighed thirty pounds, and his beard swing and swayed,
and his spurs were like swords that he sharpened each day.
Each spring hunters came from all around, each with the intent of putting old two toes down
Each spring they would eave with nothing to show, while the legend of two toes continued to grow.
Then one spring early May, a young hunter showed up with something to say.
I'm better than good, I'm merely the best, and I'm here to put the legend of two toes to rest.
The towns people laughed at they laid their cash down, they were betting on two toes to show up this clown.
The boy only laughed at the fuss of it all. He said you double your bets and I won't use a call.
The next morning came early as he grabbed up his gun, he asked only one question where does this legend run.
He set up in a clearing with his gun on knee and stuck out a barefoot for old two toes to see.
He wiggled those toes and snapped them real hard and from the far side of the clearing old two toes did charge.
It was over in an instance as two toes now lay dead,done in by a dose of five shot to the head.
The boy once again smiled as he shouldered the bird and walked back through the town without saying a word.
The towns people they gathered,not believing what they saw, some of them cheered while others looked on in awe.
As he collected his winnings,"What's your name cried a man? "
"Why I'm a turkey hunter by gosh and I'm Six Toes McCann. "
