Plastic Cowboy

In the saloon a lone, haggard cowboy
Had more than double his fill, one last sip
An imagined past of unlawful joy

Recounting the times he shot from the hip
Barstools turn for a showdown, tables flip

Caught scheming. More than his pride will suffer
A double-dealing, lone cowboy bluffer.
