Bang… Bang You’re Dead
By Paul Wilson

I was hiding behind the sofa
waiting to ambush you
Six shooter in hand
I had a clear view

Bang… Bang You’re Dead

Running to and fro
between house and yard
I was the sheriff
you shot the bank guard

Bang…Bang You’re Dead

You grabbed a hostage
and ran out the bank
My name was Wyatt
yours was Frank

Bang…Bang You’re Dead

Together we went off to war
nothing could keep us apart
The years have passed so quickly
we both won a Purple Heart

Bang…Bang You’re Dead

We both work the streets
for a different cause
I fight evil and the bad guys
you sell drugs and steal cars

Bang…Bang You’re Dead

We met tonight
in a dark alley
It was you and I
facing off in death valley

Tomorrow will never be the same
Tonight we played for real
It wasn’t any childhood game

Bang…Bang I’m Dead

Paul, I got a quick view
of Cher
and Mod Squad
and CSI
and the local news...

but you held it quick
and fast
and even musically...

Well done, for the topic...

I'll be looking for lighter daze.

Hi, Paul! It is so good to see you posting again. I find that there is a little gift for me in every poem of yours that I read.

This one actually conjured up wonderful memories of playing cops 'n robbers with my brother. I had my own holsters and cap guns and I "always got my man!" lol

I enjoy the versatility of your writing talent!

Loving hug,
Linda

Earth Angel...So you were sort of a tomboy huh, playing shoot em up with your brother. LOL. I can remember those days like they were yesterday. Taking sheets and making a tent to sleep in and play cowboys and Indians in on rainy days. finding a big old cardboard box and making a fort or bad guy hideout.

You don't know how good it makes me feel to have you say you get a little gift out of each of my poems you read. Thank you so very much for that...Paul


Sue...Thank you for taking time to read and reply. I appreciate it very much...Paul
