Poem
Another showdown in Soup Creek, I s'pose Someone's got a wedgie in her pantyhose It's another outcast who likes to lambast A bad attitude she chose to expose Folks in the Creek asked why she was a crank. What she has against those who hold top rank? What is her sob story? Maybe she seeks glory From their faces, everyone drew a blank The Gambler decided to take a stand I heard he was holding a winning hand A duel would take place They'd meet, face to face Shots to be fired at Sheriff Mark's command Undertaker cried, "Why not fisticuffs? There's no more plots on Cemetery Bluffs." It was set for high noon In front of the saloon To put an end to the slanderous chuffs Texas Ranger, Dave, set up a boxing ring Gambler told her, "Your punches have no sting. But take another poke. Your insults are a joke. Folks in these parts call you a ding-a-ling." I heard him shout, "You throw first," then he spat Without taking off his new Stetson hat. The crowd cheered, "Take her down!" Gambler Milt turned around "I'd never hit a woman, and that's that." Soup Creek folks hoped that would end the scandal In each window burned a votive candle The bartend bought a round A new hero was crowned There's no threat that this town cannot handle. ******** Jenna Logan Nervous Nell started pulling out her hair Seeking attention, she yelled, "I declare! That Ranger pushed me down!" Tex replied, "Hush, you clown! You cause more trouble than a grizzly bear!" ********** David Kavanagh She tried to shoot Sheriff Mark... Big Mistake! He glared at her. Her hands started to shake "You try that one more time, I'll jail you for the crime. And lock you in a cell with One Eyed Jake. They snuck into town for a peek The secret weapon of soup creek Brute strength they did hear Coming from Jans rear Deadly fire rang out from each cheek ********** Mark Koplin I heard a loud noise in the street The crack of a gun on repeat The smell was so acrid Even the sheriff cried It knocked Nervous Nell off her feet. Then I saw Miss Jan showing her rear As the mean old b*tch ran away in fear No coffin was needed, As the witch conceded We went to the saloon for a beer. ******** Milt Hankins *If anyone wishes to add a limerick(s), please soup mail it to me, pardner.
