as far as the eye could see Desperado could see further he lay a-dying of thirst beside a sparkling lake man-made and poisoned by same not drinkable unthinkable Desperado, naked and gaunt wore his Colt six-shooter on bony hips strength for one more draw he fondled his weapon of choice felt it rising to the occasion he grinned a blistered, cracked lip grin closed his eyes, remembering hand moved from weapon of choice and wrapped fingers around the Colt to free it from its holster where would Desperado aim it?

I really enjoyed your poetry JerryPat, you know that. But even though the line has been around awhile, Miss Lori's reply gets the 'Oscar' wink! 88's friend She told me "play one for your supper Danny and maybe you'll get breakfast". |

Of course Lori's comment was downright perfect, Ticklefingers, she has a delightful way with charming thoughts, which for the most part are much deeper than face value. She's a deep thinker. ~ My inner world is my paradise and I am its keeper ~ |

Well, I don't think I'd let her get away with it. Let's whomp her around a bit! She told me "play one for your supper Danny and maybe you'll get breakfast". |

Eh . . . Oh no! . . . Last time I tried that it took me five years to figure out how to escape from the toads' body she sent me to. ~ My inner world is my paradise and I am its keeper ~ |
