Medallion Clues for week 2
The outlaws had raced through Elysian
On the tracks going south they were freezin’
They parked their steeds late
In a shelter of eight
Then hid among pines for good reasonWith the Younger brothers they’d parted
To follow terrain yet uncharted
They had to be wise
Or meet their demise
As through Waseca they darted
To lead their pursuers off course
They circled the county by horse
Biggest manhunt in history
So it’s really no mystery
The James gang ramped up no remorse
Did they weave their way south through a maze
Of pastures where horses could graze?
With a price on their heads
Did they roll north instead,
Netting excitement, and crazed?
Medallion Clues for week 1
There was a folk hero named Jesse
Whose wild life of crime was excess-y
He and his brother
Escaped to take cover
When a botched job in Northfield got messy
They camped near Waseca a spell
At least that’s what rumor would tell
The Youngers --arrested
The James boys—detested
They risked spending time in a cell
Of course, they were toting some loot
As the James pair eluded pursuit
The sought for MEDALLION
Slid from the spurred stallion
As Jesse dug deep with his boot
In the next weeks we’ll follow their trail
As the brothers avoided sure jail
In limerick style
We’ll cover their miles
And we’ll locate the coin without fail
