The Not So Lone Ranger

The Not So Lone Ranger



  Hi Ho Silver the Lone Ranger yells as he rides
    Misleading because he always had a friend by his side
      His guide, sidekick, savior, and yes friend
        Tonto stayed with him till the bitter sweet end
          When the Lone Ranger needed help, Tonto was there
            Wherever he was needed, Tonto was everywhere
              In a battle shooting guns or bare knuckled fists
                Tonto was the first to deliver most hits
                  When traveling across the desert hungry and cold
                    Tonto trapped the food and built fires with charcoal
                      If the Ranger had a message to send of dire need
                        Tonto would deliver it on horseback full speed
                          No matter who the foe he had the Rangers back
                            He has saved him many times during surprise attacks
                              Saved him from Indians, Mexicans, and White Men
                                I guess you could say that he was the very best friend
                                  His loyalty to the Ranger was far above none
                                    The Ranger might be lone but it was two amigos with guns 


                                                                    04/24/2016
