Big belt buckle
With a mural
Of skeletal steers.

Let's be spirited cowpokes
In this ghost town
Six shooters and
I think I've
Caught my spurs
In the sagebrush

Phosphorous bandits in bandanas
Rickety steel wagons
With so much gold
They ride right through them.

I want your
Siver coins
In my
Saddle bags.

But we don't want to fight
The bad men!

They come herding into town
Paint the town lime-green reverse
There is desperation in the pleas of the townsfolk
Wagons of silver shot to pieces
In the saloon they all have a shot of whiskey
Except for Desert's Man, who lingers in the corner
They see gallows and flames reflected in his eyes. [comments] => 2 [counter] => 183 [topic] => 49 [informant] => Lee [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => mystical )

This one sneaked past me, Lee ... Wow, it is fabulous. I attempted a western style once ... it was loads of fun ... I may have to dust of them boots and do it again. I called "I Tried", if your interested.

This is awesome, man !!! Two thumbs up !!! Five Stars
