Poem

There was a man's man, you could say he was grand,
 who blessed the cinema screen and had millions of fans.
When he swaggered into a room, men stepped aside, 
 their wives and their daughters they would all try to hide.

He had something about him, some called it true grit.
 Others would say, "What ever it is, I wish I had it!"
He stood around six-foot-four, larger than life.
 If you crossed paths, you had better brought more than a knife.

On and off the screen he got his respect,
 actors today, sorry to say, don't have that effect. 
Willis, Deniro, Pacino and the Rock all rolled into one, 
 wouldn't come close to John Wayne and the things he has done.

Now I've seen all his movies, thanks to my Dad, his number one fan.
 From Rio Bravo, Rooster Cogburn, Chisum and The Quiet Man.
That's just a few, to list all would take too much time
 and drain all my ink and ruin my rhyme. 

The Duke didn't lose many fights that he fought,
 the man he portrayed was invincible we thought. 
The battle called cancer he just couldn't juke,
 but I'll always remember this pilgrim, known as the Duke.
