Short Six Shooter Poems

They say it won the West, or lost it to a faster draw
                               Made most men brave. even a coward or two
                            Yes Sir, six shots of tequila and they all hit the floor...

Seen mortician dancing dead mans strut
Six shooter brought Slim down
Black smith hurried left town
Guess hang by boots then when in a rut

A shootout on Main Street at high noon, Buck
Bring your rusty six-shooter -- lots of luck!
You’ll need it, you see,
When up against me
Nobody survives calling me a schmuck!

Sexy sensual silky smooth seductively smart Sebastian
Charismatic cool comet crashing creative chemical concoction
Over thinker overseer overwhelming
Revolving six shooter raw rhyme repeater
Purposeful and pondering the question of what's powerful
Intense somewhat intelligent always an irresistible individual
Oddball offspring enjoying an open water poetry philosophical odyssey...

Rise Up!
Daylight's a-Burnin'

By the End of this Day
That Varmint Black Bart's

Fixin' to Be Learnin'

Robbing and Murdering Innocent Folks
Might Get's You some Nice Spurs and a Fancy Gun

I'm Fixing to Have You Hang For it 
When All is Said and Done

I'm Gonna Keep On Riding
All Night if I Have To

Sticking Tobacco in my Jaw
My Horse Nightrider and my Trusty Six-Shooter
Is All I Need To Uphold The Law...

I'm a space cowboy
riding imaginary horses
with black light saddles
herding cows in my closet
my six shooter is my finger
making bullet sounds with my lips...

My ten gallon hat
filled with false optimism
borrowed from a circus clown
in a barnyard outhouse...

My posse are ghost riders
in the milky way
we lasso Taurus the bull
and have shoot outs
with villains
shaped as shadows 
on the star dust trail....
