Black Stetson and a Stone Cold Heart

Now Jake was a Dapper man Black Stetson and great style Ladies were afraid of him Even with that sparkling smile They all feared his presence Although he looked so cool They may have been attracted Yet these ladies were no fools Never look him in the eye Best to give him a wide berth The old men tried to warn me For Jake life had little worth They agreed that Jake had style Sadly he's as mean as they come Nothing but a smooth talker With a solid silver gun I watched him for a moment Then it seems I caught his eye Walking slowly towards me With his gun strapped to his thigh I wasn't seeking trouble Still it was coming my way I stared him straight in the eye and said "come make my day!" For a moment he waivered He was used to seeing fear Before he pulled his gun I shot him in the ear With that he dropped his gun Because I drew too fast If he made another move It would surely be his last Now they call him one eared Jake He's not such a dapper man It's much harder to get dressed I shot some fingers off his hand A Shadowlam production. Brought to you by Shadow Hamilton and Richard Lamoureux. Thank you Shadow for Dapper Jake and for letting me add to your story. This was fun!

I like how you communicate, a very cool use of the language. Somehow you make me think of smokey jazz bars in New Orleans. Thanks So much for commenting.

You two are would have given the famous western novelist, Louis Dearborn L'Amour, a run for his money, had he been alive....The missing part? A love interest....of course, this was just humorous, so...that's ok. Great job you two...Great production company

I didn't know he had died, someone told me once his full name was Lamoureux. Perhaps a distant relative. I think Jake ended up with one Eyed Sue.

That was just plain cruel shooting his fingers off lol. Maybe he's more appealing to the ladies now he's a broken soul haha. Great write by both of you, reads wonderfully. Take care, Richard
