THE LEGEND OF THE KEVLAR COYOTE
BY SWAMPRAT


   It happened in Albertas cold
At least that’s how the stories told
Of three brave hunters out that day
And of the one that got away.


Swamprat, Tag and Randy too
Together made a motley crew
Were driving down a road and there
A coyote stood with icy stare.

Swamprat told Randy “stop this truck,
That there’s one coyote that better duck
Cause if he don’t I’ll have his hide”
Swamprat said with a hint of pride.

Randy stopped it with a jolt
As Swamprat calmly worked his bolt
A fresh new round had found its home
“Don’t worry boys this won’t take long”

He left that truck, wind in his hair
That coyote still a standin there
Crosshairs had settled on its chest
As Swamprat quickly took his rest

At the shot that yote went down
Did the funky chicken round and round
His leg went high into the air
Then quivered once and settled there.

Tag said “you got him sure enough
Lets go and put him in the truck”
Ole Swamprat happy as can be
Walked out to get his fur tro—phy

What happened next is hard to tell
That coyote must come straight from hell
Jumped up and ran right out of there
Left behind his blood, feces and hair.

Swamprat could not believe his eyes
And Randy said “don’t worry guys”
“He cant go far”, that’s what Tag said
“Cause we all know he must be dead.”

They never found a single trace
Swamprat had egg all on his face
I need a bigger gun he said
Cause that coy-otie should be dead.

The Varmint Hunters still talk today
About the one that got away
Been seen from Maine to Mexico
Anywhere the Varmint Hunters go

It’s something that I can’t forget
I’ll never hear the end of it
Old Lunker and Ole Solo too
They’ll bring it up and make me blue

And around their fires they’ll tell there tales
Of great big bucks with flags for tails
But theres one tale they’ll never best

Of the coyote with the Kevlar vest.
