Have Gun

When I was young, he'd always win
That man in black called Palidin
A hired gun and yet he starred
And always left a business card
That cragy face, that voice of gravel
That was his show, Have Gun Will Travel

If you have Encore Westerns channel, you can see the reruns of this show once a morning and once an evening. The late Richard Boone was great in his role. Good poem. I believe you want the word "starred" (past tense for leading role in a performance) in lieu of "stared" (looked at) in your third line.

Thanks for the catch. I start writing these things and miss a word every now and then. I will make the correction and see if I can find the show again. Mike
