They dun ambled pass me
in Jake's saloon
purt'near three times
afore I saw'em
an leas twice 'fore I
reknized'em,
them ornry pokes
who poked me las night
'fore the big fight.
Naw, I'm OK.
'twernt nuttin but a
jacks assup ol card game
theys hoppin mad 'bout
anyways.
Seen meaner'n that
when I wuz knee high
t' grasshopper.
Ol Petey had shooters
that'd rip ya in haf
ifn ya jus looked at'em
sideways from yer stool.
Naw, I jes kep shut
of my mouth and
took it easy.
Never did see
what happen
t' the one
kept mouthin off
at Ol Petey.
Heard tell tho
theres a new hole dug
up on the hill.

LOL, majnu, thanks. Just imitating an old western/cowboy/hillbilly conversational style. You almost have to read this one outloud.

Duncan, LOOK what YOU made me do tonight. ROTFL, and it only took reading your Jake poem and one beer to produce this one. Imagine what might happen if I drank a rum and coke!
Never mind.
Laughing feels good after such an intense week.
