folks let me tell you a story that i swear is true happened when i was a boy living in the swamps of that Louisianan bayou i was sitting around a fire with my daddy and a few of his buddies with my back to that swamp listening to stories they were telling and having a laugh when things got quiet and my daddy said he had to tell a story that was pretty bad they all stopped laughing and stared at daddy , it was like they all knew what was coming and their faces got real tight he said there's stories of men that were mean and could fight disappearing around here at night he said there's a giant gator living around here a 15 foot monster with the taste for blood and no fear 23 so far had gone into that swamp and disappeared i looked at the faces of those men and i saw fear daddy said the black murky water hid that gator to well and he could strike from anywhere without warning and take you straight to hell then all of a sudden i heard a big splash and everyone started to yell i was so scared i started screaming and turned around and saw a huge black shadow coming out of that swamp headed right for me i was frozen in terror couldn't move just close my eyes and scream it seemed that time stood still and i was gonna die I just curled up and started to cry then it stuck me no one else was screaming and i opened my eyes everyone was staring at me so i turned and realized daddy standing there with a grin and in his hand he had a rope going behind me when I looked it was tied to a big black log laying there on the bank and my heart sank I felt like a fool thats when i got my name thats not to cool Screaming Sammy
