Poem
Bank robber Jim was one unlucky bloke Went to draw his gun but the holster broke It dropped on the bank floor And went off with a roar The shock was too much and he had a stroke... Though he was unconscious he hadn't died Woke in a coffin for his final ride In a desparate bid Banged on the coffin lid But all he could hear was laughing outside... Written 17th June 2021 Then someone shouted can you hear banging It was quite faint because folks were singing The sheriff prised off the lid And he was so glad he did Because he thought we'll have us a hanging... Jim didn't know whether to laugh or cry Resigned himself to the fact that he'd die Saw sheriff holding a rope Realised there was no hope And for unlucky Jim the end was nigh... He was taken to the gallows in town Handcuffed and wearing nothing but a frown Jim was then starting to choke But with the drop the rope broke The crowd screamed as poor Jim came tumbling down.. Unlucky Jim jumped up quick as a flash As he passed the bank ran in and grabbed cash He stole the first horse he saw Then let out a loud yee haw And for sweet freedom he made a quick dash... Written 19th June 2021 A bounty hunter called Nevada Slim Went after bank robber Unlucky Jim With tracker Spirit Bear They discovered Jims lair And Jim's future was now looking quite grim... Slim called out "put your hands in the air" Jim grabbed his gun, Slim said "don't you dare" But Jim was too fast And let off a blast Slim fell dead then Jim shot Spirit Bear... Jim quickly packed his things and rode away Thankful that he'd survived another day He decided to lie low But what old Jim didn't know Was that Pinkertons were heading his way... Jim was sleeping in the afternoon sun And didnt hear the cocking of a gun He woke up with dread Saw guns at his head And a lawman said "Jim looks like your done"... Jim was handcuffed and they rode back to town There to meet them was Sheriff and Judge Brown The charges were read Jim nodded his head Sheriff said " this time Jim you're going down" ... For Jims last request he asked for a smoke And noticed the hangman had a new rope He put a hood on Jims head Jim dangled then he was dead An escape this time!, there wasn't a hope... Written 1st July 2021 RIP UNLUCKY JIM
