The Masque

The Masque
By Rick Rucker

I go about my daily task,
Covered by my spiffy mask,

I ride Silver into town,
To save those, trodden down,

Accompanied, as I am, by Tonto,
I must get the bad guys, pronto!

It would seem to be my Fate, 
To clean up a town in half an hour, never late!

I wear the mask, not as a disguise,
It helps accentuate my eyes,

I should really ride my horse side saddle,
But it would be awkward going into battle!

Next, I am thinking of adding, to my mask, some lace,
I think it would help to frame my face!

I never stay in one place,
Quickly, out of town we race,

I am thinking of growing a mullet,
So much less expensive a memory than a silver bullet!

As we ride out, past the church and steeple,
I think I will join The Village People!
