A poem inspired by the old spagetti westerns, especially the music of Ennio Morricone
Riding with whiskey and animal hide,
Past the rocky hills into the sun,
Living the life of a hired gun.
Slanted Stetson worn on my head,
Riding through the desert of the dead,
Spurs shining in the dusty light,
Scheming vultures take to flight.
The wind whistles as I ride,
Out on my own, no need of a guide,
On my way to the saloon,
Just waiting for high noon.

Into The West
Riding, riding with my rifle by my side,Riding with whiskey and animal hide,
Past the rocky hills into the sun,
Living the life of a hired gun.
Slanted Stetson worn on my head,
Riding through the desert of the dead,
Spurs shining in the dusty light,
Scheming vultures take to flight.
The wind whistles as I ride,
Out on my own, no need of a guide,
On my way to the saloon,
Just waiting for high noon.
