Saloon Spectacular

It would be fun to
picture me 
In the 18th century
Sirs and
Madaam's--Friendly
faces
Visiting the unique
places
Like saloons where I
will find
Folks of every
different kind
Piano tunes are
entertaining
Cards, darts,
pool--all kinds of
gaming
A bartender filling
glasses
Outside a horse and
buggy passes
Holsters carry guns
a lot
Tobacco spit in
shiny pots
Fancy clothes on
dancing girls
Taking cowboys for a
twirl
Spurs on boots and
cowboy hats
Seeing touches in
tight chaps
Drunks are acting
like a fool
Card cheating leads
to a dual
A time and place
that's never boring
It would be very
alluring
To turn back the
clock to be
Part of this special
history

Very well done, Robin. Sometimes I wonder how it would be to live back in those days. Simple times yet totally different . I suppose the one that lived then wondered what it would be like a couple hundred years earlier. And so life goes on. enjoyed this one..... Robert.
