Legend

Jesse James the Perfect Outlaw Jess James, Rode the wild west in flames, Some call him a hero outlaw, His blazing revolver made him a bad criminal Jesse and his brother Frank James Poesy hounded down these names Bloodthirsty military barbarians Sometimes I wonder if they were vegetarians Jess James needed no standoff Threatening him made him, COUGH! COUGH! Shot in the back of the head, I'm so glad Robert is also dead. ~†~

He was mine too. Anotherone was John Dillinger. I lived about a block and 1/2 from where he was killed. The Biograph Theater. There another movie theater accross the street. Up to this day - every Anniversary, they show the same movies that were showing that day and charge the same prices they did then. Your friend - Lucy

I just had to read this. I too liked Jesse James. People are not born bad. sometimes peole make them bad. Robert Ford was the dirty little coward - that shot Mr. Howard. Good write. Lucilla

"That dirty little coward who shot Mr. Howard laid Jesse James in his grave." Have you ever heard "The Ballad of Jesse James"? A number of recording artists have had their versions placed on vinyl records over the years. This was a good write PD.

A fine tribute to an old time hero/outlaw or whatever you want to call him. I thinnk he was both. He lived outside the law but I think he was just trying to survive. He left behind quite a legend. Good stuff. God Bless, JB

Looks good to me but...what do I know lol. I tried it is all I can say for mine but then I am still on my pain meds. A bad excuse is better then no excuse at all right? Hey don't be jealous I have not entered your contest yet but have entered in a different one. I am working on yours. I have to try harder as I am not doing good in the contests I have been entering. Maybe my mind maybe my pain already blamed on my meds so can't use that again. lol Thank you for your kind comments my friend. Love, Carol
