Peco's Bill

Peco's Bill
Has A Giant White
Hat Or Something.

I Could Easily Look
It Up, But I Don’t 
Want To.

I Almost Did
Because I 
Wondered If
His Name Even
Has An 
Apostrophe.

Well, That's Too
Much...

I've Ruined The Flow.

Anyway, So With
All The Information
Entirely At Our
Disposal, You'd
Think It'd All
Be So Easy, 
Right?

*******************

I'm Asking You
PECOS' BILL!

***

Some Or Other
Night.

He fell out of a covered wagon when he was a baby... while crossing the Pecos River. There's no apostrophe. I'm still sure he had a 20 gallon hat! Confirmed or not!
