William Tells

Hapsburg bailiff Gessler’s hollow kow-tow; was a farce William Tell would disavow. A hat on a pole! I'll never bow. Such disregard tagged him, non-compliant in a poem told by William Bryant - William Tell was the one most defiant. His snub of the snob gave reason to dread Tell must shoot an apple from his son’s head. "Now off to prison!" Boss Gessler then said. Mountain man in prison swallowed his doubt dreaming of freedom's well-followed route. Swiss subjection he would soon hollow out. January 15, 2021 inspired by William Cullen Bryant's poem, William Tell, Legendary hero of Swiss independence.
