Waiting For My John Wayne

My favourite movie star is John Wayne. Shoot him or stab him, he'll never complain. I watch his movies over and over. Whether sheriff, cattle baron or just a drover. He is what every man should be, tall and strong, truthful and free. He always knows just what to say, what to do, and who must pay. So totally different from the men I've known who if they get a sniffle are in bed, prone. The men I've known are not like he. They're scared of horses and scared of me. I really suppose I'm single because no man fascinates me like John Wayne does.

going through school as "Marion" is probably what made him so tough

A nice poetic tribute to a man who was a heavy smoker and succumbed to lung cancer back in 1979.
