My Pa wuz born in Montana. My
Ma moved to Montana cuz she heard that all men wuz handsum and
strong in Montana. She wuz right. After they got married I wuz born:
handsum and strong.
When my folks died I took over the ranch. It wuz hard to keep things
runnin' on my own. One cold winter day I wuz choppin' wood and outta
nowheres came a truly delightful girl. I figgered she musta just
dropped outta the sky.
From that day forward it weren't just me runnin' the ranch. My Truly
Determined jumped right in and helped. One evening, when my Truly
Dogtired didn't even have the energy left to walk frum the barn to
the house, we decided it wuz time to sell out. We got a great price
frum a handsum stranger.
Truly Divine and I hopped on a stage and headed south toward Kansas.
We had heard the weather was warmer and the people wuz friendlier
than in Montana. We settled there, but my Truly Disgusted didn't
like it at all. There weren't nothing there but ranches, Indians,
and a trading post. She kept lookin' at me kinda' evil-eyed and
sayin', "Wichita? Wichita?" After awhiles that's all she would say
to me. Even when we hopped a stage fer California all she could say
was, "Wichita? Wichita?" Everyone that heard her thought that was my
name so's I just kept it.
Once we got to California we settled down in a nice home and raised
a wagon-load of handsum children. After awhiles we ran out of money.
With a little encouragement from my Truly Devious we came up with a
plan to rob a bank.
We got away with enuf money to last us a while. Of course, it ran
out and we had to get sum more. We hopped on a payroll train and ran
into the Guns and Garters Gang tryin' to rob the same payroll. They
took a likin' to me (probably cuz I'm so handsum) and we joined
their gang. The rest is history. |
