Cowboys Where Are You

There was a day on TV Where westerns were all the rage You could take your pick From your TV paper page Together our masked hero the Lone Ranger With Tonto kept outlaws in a spin Have Gun Will Travel was the card For black dressed professional gunfighter Paladin Wagon Train kept rolling along Seth Adams the leader Flint McCullough chief scout Old Charlie Wooster was the feeder Rawhide kept the cattle moving Gil and Randy kept control In Dodge City it was Gunsmoke Marshall Matt Dillon was key role On the ponderosa it was Bonanza Where Ben Cartwright was the boss With his family of three boys Adam, little Joe and Hoss Wells Fargo was the stagecoach Where Jim Hardie was the star Now these are only some For they were many more by far They were the Virginian and the Rifleman Laramie, Maverick and Cheyenne The High Chaparral not to mention alias Smith and Jones These made us all a fan Cowboys where are you? Memories of you is our lot On TV we can’t see Is this our last shot? poetgord@2013
