Shootout On Main Street

A shootout on Main Street at high noon, Buck Bring your rusty six-shooter -- lots of luck! You’ll need it, you see, When up against me Nobody survives calling me a schmuck! FIRST PLACE WINNER Written May 4, 2022 for "High Noon" Poetry Contest sponsored by Joseph May 10-10-5-5-10 syllables

Thank you, Joseph. You noticed he was advised to bring his "rusty" six shooter, as opposed to his "trusty" six shooter. I thought that was a nice touch! Again, it was a pleasure writing for your contest. I really enjoyed it.
