Kaye Locke Poet Free verse

Love In Rotgut Saloon

Geez fella won’t you look at me,
I’ve got my best frock on.
My girdles tight, my bosom heaves
and I’m stuck here ‘til mornin’.

You’re welcome in this Rotgut bar,
but kid you heed my warnin’,
git rid that ol’ ten gallon hat, 
and don’t you start no brawlin’.

Stop fumblin’ with Sally-Anne
she’s just a broke ol’ toy.
It’s my turn for a night of fun
So come o’er here cowboy.

Hang yer belt up on the door,
ignore the ol’ grave digger,
the whisky’s cheap and I am too,
So come on, squeeze my trigger.

J. R. Corbin August 4, 2014 at 3:04 PM Makes me want to saddle up, lol. This is very entertaining. Check out, 'One Night At Dan's Tavern'. I think you will enjoy, and thanks for posting this.

Jim Carpenter July 17, 2014 at 9:43 PM Nothing as good as someone who tells a story with their writing... Squeeze my trigger... brought a smile! Kaye Locke July 18, 2014 at 4:50 AM Always good to hear I made someone smile! Thanks so much.

John Lawless July 17, 2014 at 4:51 PM This has the feel of a limerick, the pace of a torrid affair, the cadence of spur dancing footsteps, and a hair trigger ending. Good job, Kaye. Kaye Locke July 18, 2014 at 4:49 AM Thank you kind sir! Though with your surname I'm not sure you'd be allowed in this here saloon ;-)
