Frankie Mcgill

The feared bounty hunter Frankie McGill
Was tracking bank robber , Montana Bill
Frankie caught him by surprise 
Shot him dead between the eyes
Now Montana's on his way to Boot Hill...

Thank you very much Joseph, glad you enjoyed it, only found out recently why cemeteries in the old west were called Boot Hill, because they died with their boots on in deadly circumstances. Thanks too for hosting the contest Hope you're well. Tom

Thanks Caren, only found out why they call it that, its because men had their boots on when they met a viloent end. Tom

Good thing your Frankie McGill was a sharp shooter. Quick and painless between the eyes. I enjoyed reading this Tom. Best of luck in the contest. P.S. Being a big fan of John Wayne, I couldn't help but smile at the pic of you along side the Duke. Cheers Anne :-)

Knowing he got shot between the eyes should serve as a deterrent to would-be bank robbers! Good one, Tom! Janice

Thank you Anil, the term Boot Hill refers to a cemetery in the Old wild west. Although many towns use the name "Boot Hill," the first graveyard named "Boot Hill" was at Hays, Kansas, 5 years before the founding of Dodge City, Kansas.[1] The term alludes to the fact that many of its occupants were cowboys who "died with their boots on," the implication here being they died violently ie, gunfight or being hung for a crime.
