The Cowboy

Marion his given name most called him the Duke,
American lad made good living the dream,
Started as a bit actor, 
B movie followed B movie he strived for more,
His big break came with the movie stagecoach,
Then everyone knew his name,
A true cowboy rugged good looks gravely voice,
Going to war with indians, gunslingers and more in his films,
The war he lost was to Cancer it won in 79,
Yet he is still remember today a tribute to his acting skill,
A new generation watch his films once again,
John Wayne legend a true star.

As an Iowan I immediately knew who this famous cowboy was as he was born in Winterset, Iowa. I am glad you also love Duke.
