Soup Creek Ink Or Computer

Last July I was going west,
                                           
looking for my pot of gold.
                                           
I rode into a sleepy little town,
                                       
Soup Creek was it's funny name.
                                 
The dirt street was bare,
                                             
it was a very hot July day.
 
I stopped in the saloon to wet my dry throat,
                 
when outside gun fire broke out.
                                   
Sheriff Koplin said,
                                                       
a new hombre just rode into town.
                               
He is nothing but trouble,
                                             
wish he would stay in his neck of the woods.
   
Mayor Tom said,
                                                           
I will settle this once and for all.
                                   
As hombre computer drew to take a shot,
                       
Mayor Tom whipped out his two guns.
                           
You are going down,
                                                     
as the guns filled with ink were unloaded. (bang~bang)
   
Mayor Tom said with a big smile on his face,
                   
ink will always win over you hombre computer.

Back with congratulations Paula, the legend will continue but Soup Creek has been renamed Milton Creek in honour of Milton who I saw as one of the founding fathers. Hope your new year is off to a good start. Tom

Thanks for your note and for your congratulations. What an honor to have this POTD. Glad you like it. I love to give out laughs/smiles. Soup Creek is much bigger than "Bonanza." I love "Bonanza." Need to stay tuned for the next Soup Creek show. Never know what will happen next or who will be in it. I went in a different direction for my story. Remember ink over computer every time.
