Bonnie and Clyde Legacy

the 1934 model 40 B Fordor deluxe sedan idled outside the gas station Inside was Clyde Barrow, who was robbing the place His moll, Bonnie Parker, sat inside the car, holding a shotgun these notorious robbers were deemed “Robin hood figures” This was the Great Depression; their crime spree teased imaginations Stories and rumors followed them from Texas to Missouri They took their gangster car to Oklahoma and New Mexico Robbing gas stations, and small town banks People liked watching them shoot things up and act wild They were famous for their daring and their pizzazz Bonnie was only twenty four when she died Clyde was twenty-five, but they are remembered and weirdly revered, even though they were gangsters who terrorized people and small town bankers they outsmarted the police for twenty-one months their crime spree was a subject of books and a movie which has continued their legacy; making them forever famous.
