Love it, Earl. Good rhymes for the most part. I am a fan of all those westerns. Richard Boone was on ugly badass, wasn't he? My all time fave hero though is "Shane".

Thanks Bob. I remember Richard Boone as Hec Ramsey. Shane was cool too. I appreciate you taking the time to read and review my work.

Hey, Earl, this was a kind of fun write! Taking it back to the old west... we don't get to go back there too much anymore. I'll take it. Gold rush, Cowboys and Indians, and a gunfight at the Okay Corral! ;)

You do the crime you gotta pay the time.
Or they may just hang you instead.
Either way, you're gonna pay.
I used to watch Have Gun, Will Travel as a kid, Earl, but my favorite was always the Lone Ranger.
"Ho-oh, Silver...a-w-w-a-a-a-a-a-y-y-y!"

Comment from Lobber
I'm old enough (not ode enough) to remember Mr Boone and he wasn't that much of a boon to society yet alone the wildishy wildlife Wilde-like wild Wild West of the westerly Western World where Westerners would willingly wrangle a Wayne-like wimp. You get the point.

This is great. I'm most interested in the gunslingers of the old west and you captured the excitement of it all. Great rhyming and some humor make this a great contest entry. Hopefully you'll come in second, right after me in the contest..lol ! Really, best of luck to you. :)

This poem is very well constructed and the last two lines, 'No more will my spurs jangle, cuz from a branch I'll dangle' go together very well. Good luck in the contest and thank you for sharing.

Comment from Gloria ....
This is just the neatest contest idea, way, way back in the day when TV was first invented all that was on was cartoons and westerns. I think you've captured Paladin and your rhymes are perfectly suited the contest guidelines.
It's terrific and I wish you much luck in the voting booth. :)

Got me humming, "Hanging Tree" by Mary Robbins, "High Noon" by Tex Ritter. A quote by Paladin about the Moving Finger caused me to look it up and become a lifelong Omar/Fitzgerald fan...Have Gun was far above the common horse opera...excellent poem...
