Outshoot Poems


Premium MemberThe Outs Have It

He is outstandingly out-of-bounds 
asserted the outlandishly outspoken outlaw
He can outshoot, outtrump and outride you.
He is outrageously outranked, the tenderfoot replied.

But he did feel outsparkled and outvalued.
And a little bit on the outs...
The outsized outsister tried to sooth the tenderfoot
but she was an unfamiliar outsider and not totally respected

So they both ended up being outwitted and outslickered
by the outspoken outlaw who outsmarted them 
The outlaw’s outlandish gang outroared their protests
Making them both feel outclassd and out-of-sorts.

Little Miss Sure-Shot

Pretty funny name for a girl—her name traveled ‘round the world,
“little Miss Sure=Shot” they called her everywhere.
She sure shootin’ earned her fame—“Annie Oakley” was her other name—
She blasted those little glass balls right out of the air…
And  a Winchester rifle became that girl’s best friend!

Little Miss Sure-Shot, you shot through our hearts back then;
And the likes of your marksmanship won’t be seen again.
Little Miss Sure-Shot you shot through our hearts back then…
In your cowgirl costume you rode through our Western dream.

Her Daddy died when she was ten—she picked up a rifle and then
She filled up the table with rabbits and quail to eat.
At fifteen she met her man—good lookin’ with a gun in his hand;
He tried to outshoot her but that hero, he got beat.
So he married little Annie—they hit the bull’s eve with their love!

She done pretty good for a girl  Her boss he took her ‘round the world—
Buffalo Bill on that Wild West show-biz trail.
From Memphis to Cheyenne—she shook Queen Victoria’s hand,
Little Miss sure-Shot, her aim it never failed….
And she shot a cigarette out of Kaiser Wilhelm’s mouth!

Two Texans In Hot Pursuit

They came in from the dusty trail
Looking for the one so frail,
They vie for her attention,
Hoping they will be the one.
But the problem I mention,
There could be, only one.
Face to face at dusk,
They know that they must.
There talents they must trust.

For she will not have just anyone,
He has to be the right one.
Ravishing that she is,
Dazzling to say the least,
For when you see her,
Heart rates increased.
Her charm seducing,
Lips waiting to be kissed,
Sublime and alluring,
She could never be missed.

These two Texans in hot pursuit,
Now wondering which one could outshoot.
But maybe, just maybe this test,
Would soon be put to rest.
For now there is a third, 
Who’s words are not slurred,
He knows he is the best,
So no use for a test.
And now she knows,
Which one will reach the crest.
