The Showdown
The Showdown (A lone voice whispers) I once knew Love But like a bullet fired from Wyatt Earp's Colt 45 It struck me down in the only showdown of my life Now I walk around like a reborn sick Doc Holliday Wondering How alone I'll finish my play and stay alive (C) Copyright John Duffy ...

I rode into town with the sun sinking low, I thought "it's too quiet, somehow they know" I wrote his name on the bullet, loaded it into the gun He had taken my farm and shot my dear son. I walked in the saloon, I said "find me Maclay!" The bartender whispered, "Boy, best walk...

Showdown
Whoa, ship ahoy, girls can play this game. So we’re not a boy, we’ll win just the same. Yo, like Hatfield/McCoy, choose sides, your name. Go balloon convoy, water’s our claim to fame. Though the weapon’s a toy, take careful aim; Throw smart, redeploy or we'll lose in shame. No fair playing coy or casting blame; Slow down and enjoy the reason...

Such a Stupid Showdown
Such A Stupid Showdown Cause was closed about stupid showdown; My poems are the greatest all over town, And also best, Then the rest; In self pity other poets started to drown. Looked outside and saw something awesome; It had turned out to be a small baby possum, With appetite, Out of sight; Had even eaten our flowers that did blossom. Watching MSNBC about...

This here’s a showdown. It ain’t no hoedown. No prancing around here like some kind of clown. This is a test to see who is the best Who’s got the goods to take everyone down! Who in the end will wear the gold crown? I think I’m going to turn this around! Let’s just be rhymin’ with everyone chimin’ in with each other like...

Showdown
It's time for a showdown. I saw him at the hoedown, flirting with Missy Brown. No wonder I have a frown. He behaves like such a clown when he's out on the town. I'll whack him on the crown. That'll bring him back down to Earth with a bang!...

Showdown
Ding…let the battle begin Dodging these punches in the middle of the ring Rocking side to side like I’m stoned from a bottle of gin I’ve lasted enough rounds to take home this win Float like a butterfly, like a bee I’m going to sting Words from the greatest, Muhammad Ali the king Jab…Hook…Cross…Uppercut, I’m giving everything My opponent is...

The Showdown
27/03/2018 When Port play the Crows it’s called the Showdown. Listen awhile and I’ll give you the lowdown. These two mighty suburban Adelaide teams, Show us what a true rivalry means. The teams smother each other and hate one another, Some Mum's won’t let their sons play for the other. The two sides can’t abide and often they deride, With remarks so snide...
