The Fastest Gun In the West....(Not)

For many years we were mis lead by this myth
                The real one was a little short guy, kind of slow with bad eye sight
When his temper would flare, take a sip of hot stale beer, with his sawed off shotgun
                                     In any saloon, he would state his case

I enjoy the Old West writes, Danny, and this one gave me a laugh. A small guy with a bad eye who gets drunk would be a danger even today with a "sawed off shotgun." Fun to read, Danny. Love, Carolyn

Not the fastest or the smartest, huh. Nicely done. Little humor here. Sara
