Cartoon Cowboy Sheriff

My youth is long gone, I’m now middle aged.
I live life by my rules and my soul is not caged.

I’m a member of the Soup, this is where I spill my ink.
I’ve no delusions of grandeur, it can be gone in a blink.

I’m part of an elite group, sometimes mild but never meek.
All are welcome to apply, just see the mayor at Soup Creek.

We won’t back down from a fight, so be careful of what you say.
We are always keeping watch, every second of every day.

With the shirts from our backs, we’ll help any friend.
Just don’t cross my posse, their loyalty has no end.

Some say we’re the bullies, don’t believe what you hear.
We will defend what is right, let’s just make that point clear.

This site is like the wild west, we have many tales to tell.
The coffee is always on, so pull up a chair and sit a spell.

This gambler is proud to be a part of the posse who keeps an eye out for the bad guys here in Soup Creek! Our Mayor, our Sheriff, our Saloon Keeper, and good citizens are determined to make Soup Creek the finest spot hereabouts!

I'll take you up on that offer, Sheriff. You've put the Soup Creek Posse in proper perspective. Thanks for keeping the peace in our town.
