Important To Duel At High Noon

Which Cowboy bites dust tomorrow at noon,
Fighting duel to end, to death the tune,
The sun at noon shows no glare,
Bystanders, time of day fair,
Outside the saloon, a hot day in June.

Cowboys seem to like to duel around saloons, don't they? Seems to me, if one's who's been drinking, he is not making the best of choices. If they've both been drinking, they'll probably shoot each other dead -- or both miss... Thank you for all of your visits to my site and your insightful, fun comments. And Congrats on your win in the contest, Jennifer! :) gw
