Holster weapons, pace it out
One more step, then turn about
Let 'im have it, draw and fire
Make room in the heav'nly choir
Goodness gracious, shot him dead
Ain't no arguing with lead
No one likes a gunless nit
God help me, I think I'm hit

Author Notes
Today's word: holmgang (n.) a duel to the death.
My much-treasured Christmas present for 2017 is a book by Paul Anthony Jones: "The cabinet of linguistic curiosities". Each page contains a descriptive story about some obscure or archaic word. It occurred to me it would be a fun exercise to try and write, each day, a poem featuring the "word of the day" from the book.
Thanks for reading.
