A Piece of Cowboy Fun

A Piece of Cowboy Fun I know that once the West was wild This I learned when still a child The matinee on Saturday was the best To see the cowboys clean up the west My favourite was the man in the mask ‘Who was that masked man?’ I hear some ask None other than the brave ‘Lone Ranger’ Who rescued all who were in danger With Tonto who was his very best pal And always there was a glamorous gal There was Roy Rogers and trigger too Cisco and Pancho, to name a few Hopalong Cassidy, Tarzan and Jane (oops they slipped in) And who can forget ‘Big John Wayne’ After the flick we came charging out Galloping our horses and mucking about Holding up buses with pretend guns Hounding poor dogs for cattle runs These days of innocent fun are gone But in my mind they still live on.

The excitement of these days will love on as long as we have John Wayne movies to remind us. Clint Eastwood, too! But his spaghetti Westerns made the setting seem more harsh than glamorous. Great write, Margaret! Love, Carolyn
