THE SHAKIEST GUN IN THE WEST Showdown at dawn? I’m a clown with a gun! Help me please! My lungs wheeze. I’m shaky! Ordinary sort of a guy, shy with the ladies (grins) Westward, I’m leaning. I’ve been meaning to run! Don’t think me a coward! (wink) I’m for being alive. Of course! Come with me. My horse, my lady, we ride! Wind at our backs, bullet packs reject. Rescind the invite! Never the worse, lest the showdown curse, the waning moonlight. 4/2/2018 Two rhymes on each line, an acrostic (Showdown) Title relates to a Don Knotts movie

Congratulations on your win with this creative rhyme. Had to smile when I saw Don Knotts' pic. Smile became bigger as I kept reading. Enjoyed.

Every bit of this movie came roaring back into my mind with this poem, Kim. What a great write! My sister and I used to laugh at this movie until we cried.
