The Darkness At Noon

I challenge you to a duel
at high noon
while the vampires are out
we shall be shooting soon!

so I stepped outside my door
six gun by my side
saddled upon my gargoyle
and took off for a ride

we met by the clock tower
so many were barely within sight
I fired all of my six shots
as the demon danced with delight

as I stopped to reload 
a whizz went by my head
for I could barely see
that I was nearly dead

I clicked the tumbler closed
rose the barrel with great aim
fired just one shot
and blew out fiery demon brains

then I saddled up my gargoyle
as the clock struck twelve O one
everything was silent
for my deed was done
