THE
SAGA OF ME AN' BIGUN
Two men rode out, from Old Saint Lou'
In the spring of 'twenty three...
The big one on the mule was "Bigun"
Beside him on the mare was "Me"…
"The Episode at Coyote Hill"
(Or "My moccasins now have
spikes!")
About #$%@* years
ago, I had the opportunity to get in on a week long "Survival
Outing". Real live Mountain Man stuff! Nothin' to eat but what you shoot
or catch or gather. This was in September of 19*#. Starting to cool, but warm
enough during the day…
"Bigun And The Texas Rondyvoo"
...I've got a story to tell ya' true,
'Bout Bigun an' the Texas rondyvoo...
(And how I come to get four 58-caliber holes
in my underwear.)…
The Ballad of Ezra Mize
From a farm on the banks of the Ohio
Down Old Kentucky way
There came a man to the western mountains
Who's still talked about today…
The Letter to the Boss
Dear Boss:
Congratulations on having chosen the Colorado Rocky Mountains as your
vacation spot this year! As you may know, even though I live in Kansas, I
have spent a great deal of time in the Rockies. In fact, due in large part
to inaccurate maps, faulty compasses and the mysterious geologic forces
which strive to constantly re-arrange other wise familiar landmarks - I have
probably spent more time in the Colorado back country than most members of
the search and rescue team…
My First True Love
Well I reckon I knowed
her before I could even talk -
She always was a friend.
Mom said she was a bitch, but 'course
I wasn't worldly enough to know what a bitch was back then…
