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!

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.
