What have we missed? Thanks!

Originally Posted By wonderingalice My pleasure! As kids, the cool stuff stuck with us the best. Alright...You asked for it! Born on a mountain top in Tennessee, Greenest state in the land of the free. Raised in the woods so's he knew every tree, Killed him a bear when he was only three. Davy, Davy Crockett King of the Wild Frontier. Fought single handed through the Injun war, Till the Creeks was whipped and peace was restored. And while he was handling this risky chore, Made himself a legend, forevermore. Davy, Davy Crockett the man who don't know fear. He went of to Congress and served a spell Fixin' up the government and laws as well. Took over Washington, I heard tell, And patched up the crack in the Liberty Bell. Davy, Davy Crockett, seein' his duty clear. When he come home, his politickin' was done, While the western march had just begun. So he packed his gear, and his trusty gun And let out a grinnin' to follow the sun. Davy, Davy Crockett, Leadin the Pioneer. Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! ;-)
