wagon train staple
the prairie schooner whitetop
plain covered wagon

mules and oxen
used on the wild frontier
harrowing journey

Premium Member Love Or Bust

I’d rather lead a wagon train over
Donner Pass in the heart of cold winter
than take a chance on cherubic Cupid’s 
insipid arrow; does X really mark
the spot, and is the promise of true love 
such a treasure?

A lifetime of love letters burns easy
in the fires of infidelity,
and the discovery of trickery
will cause a lass to never again say
it’s love or bust!

Premium Member my wild west came in on a tv set

Marshall Dillon in Gunsmoke
Clint Eastwood as Rowdy Yates in Rawhide
Paladin Have Gun will Travel
John Wayne in bunches of westerns
the pattern was easy....
The cowboys always win
Hero wears a light hat
Villain is stuck with black hat
Indians never win
TV in the 60’s gave me new terms
Dance hall girl, sage brush, wagon train
I reminisce about the wild west I know

Premium Member My Favourite Cowboys

There was a day on TV
When westerns were all the rage
Together our masked hero the Lone Ranger
with Tonto kept outlaws in their cage

Wagon Train kept rolling along
Seth Adams the leader
Flint McCullough chief scout
old Charlie Wooster was the feeder

My all-time favorite Cowboy
had to be clearly Wagon Train
Flint was my all-time hero
my chief scout taking the strain!

Journey's West

A cowboy's journey west
Traveling wagon train was the best

No Mercedes Benz or jumbo planes
Carved forests, climbed mountains, & plowed the plains

Beans and cornbread soothes hunger pangs
A bonnet or ten gallon hat protects our brains

Sleeping under stars watching asteroids
Resting our butts and healing hemorrhoids

I smell the Pacific from across the valley
And yell in delight, "We're now in Cali!"
