Group #4 tells about Santa's escape
Savannah Forester
Pecos Vaughn
Shawna O’Keefe
The not-so-great escape from the bank
Began with shots, real ones not blank
They used the girls as shields to get out
The bullets were flying about
They ran out of gas on the side of the road
They money was a huge load
They got another car to help; the driver a fourteen year old
Ratliff forgot the money and one man the story is told
Back into their car the chase was on
When the sheriff caught up they were already gone
Finally the police officers arrested Ratliff and his gang
Without a whole lot of bang

The 5th Poem ~ The Capture
Group #5 tells of the capture of 'Santa'
Jared Stamey
Tyler Murray
Juan Lopez
Before Bradford’s car rolled to a stop, he was out with double barrel shotgun
He shot three men one of them was barely still alive while the others were having fun
After they escaped by the Brazos River
They tried to steal a car from Mr. Wylie, a young driller
Mr. Wylie’s father aimed for one of the robbers then shot his son
The robbers got away with nothing to eat except for oranges, and that’s not fun
The robbers were suffering from their injuries and lack of food
They weren’t in a very good mood
They returned to Cisco to hide in plain sight
The next morning when there wasn’t very much light
Then they were caught by Sheriff Foster
He was so tall they thought he was a monster

The 6th Poem ~ The Lynching
Group #6 tells of the fate of 'Santa'...
Hallie Taylor
Kase Gayle
Nicholas Thompson
Evan Martinez
After the robbery he was put in jail
Hold on a second, that’s not the whole tale
They moved him back to Eastland in 1929
He was put in jail without a dime
First he tried escape then he killed a jailor
So far, all that he did was a BIG failure
He was probably taken outside where it was really freezing
He was going to be hung and mob didn’t do much teasing
Then behind the Majestic Theater where they were playing “The Noose”
They hung Santa like a Christmas goose!!
The first time they tried, Santa fell down
That must have been embarrassing in front of the whole town!
So the Santa Claus tale comes to a close
A bank robbery gone bad and history made in a little town called Cisco
