 William Tell

There is a legend that does tell

Of William Tell who did gain fame

For skill to shoot a crossbow well,

Hitting the mark where he would aim.

Arrested by powers that be,

Tell was to face execution,

Which included Tell's family,

Specifically, his young son.

As an alternative instead,

Tell was given the option to

Shoot an apple off his son's head,

Which Tell successfully did do.

Whether this legend's true or not,

It tells of one hell of a shot.
