You know? I often pictured me... In other times and lands. Perhaps a pirate Captain- A shoutin’ stern commands. Mayhap a General in some war With saber brandished high- Inspiring men at my command To sacrifice and die. Perhaps a king upon a throne- With serfs adoring me... And warriors bold at my command And ruling land and sea. Alas, I find this not the case- I’m just another guy... To struggle through a mundane life And then grow old and die. But, ah! within my cranium- I’ve fought a thousand wars... And slain a hundred dragons... Won maidens by the scores. I’ve vanquished many armies- Explored the universe... At least I have enjoyed life- A man could do far worse. Visit My Home Page http://www.geocities.com/montcogunslinger/HomePage.html |

Well, it certainly does seem a man could do much worse... and... know what?... all those Captains and Generals?? They were just regular guys too...  |

Slinger- Perhaps just a little more than an ordinary guy .... 'But, ah! within my cranium- I’ve fought a thousand wars... And slain a hundred dragons... Won maidens by the scores.' It's in the mind of great men that such thoughts are born. Terrific ! ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

I like the rhythm here, Gunslinger, and as always, the reflective aura you've created. Surely you know you've a book in the making with all this wonderful work!   Claire |
