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.

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

Thanks Vera. I've only just started trying to write 'to order' for the contests. It's quite challenging, but great fun! Kaye

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.
