I am sure they would speculate, my dear forney
that johnny ringo received something backward
when my adjudication replaced his better judgment

but I can assure you I dealt with him fairly
swearing by all of the faro table pharaohs
that my pistol was just by a wit width quicker

and that most of my aim was consciously applied
although I was surprised at the bullet's mind
being of the same opinion on his living or dying

perhaps it was due that expensive tennessee whiskey
or the residue of your recent lissome attention
that left me so close to the heavenly gates already

that I had less to lose than johnny had to live for

_________

daark (nursery rhymes of john henry holliday) scribblenote..conversation as poetically suggested between big nose kate and doc holliday regarding the johnny ringo epitaph.

DS, this reads like a scene from a movie. I tried to pick out my favorite part but couldn't. I would have to highlight the entire poem.


Great writing!

I think you mentioned you were fascinated to some degree with the dead man walking humor...

  I like what you're doing with the series...and the perspective you portray..

the understated humor in this, fits the telling well..


enjoyed sir..as always

Your poetry is like tie dye, the assortment of color is so vivid.

You're a trip DS,  and that would be a good thing.
