James Horn Poet Couplet

Bounty Hunter Born and Bred

Bounty Hunter Born and Bred

An excellent movie, by me was seen
About bad man who had been mean;
Would think and much time did devote
When this poem would finally be wrote.

Terrible Tom Horn had died today;
For his dirty deeds now must pay;
Being bounty hunter born and bred; 
Pretty soon would be found dead.

Philandering person who they hated;
In saloon for a while, He had waited;
Then would take a short single breath,
Then did shot the poor soul to death.

From life Horn would be set free
Was hung from branch on a tree;
Shot many people who would die;
For his death, this is reason why.

James Thomas Horn
Norview High School, Sophomore
Norfolk, Virginia

Wrote this after seeing the movie                                                                     Tom Horn and was 15 years old
just after my dad was killed on
the Aircraft Carrier Intrepid.
