The True Western Hero

With his stallion named Rex he roamed far and wide

Doing good deeds wherever he could

Through stampedes and range wars he never once lied

Acted just like a true hero should

So many adventures were shared by this pair

And Rex never failed him one time

Like that time near Laredo when they spotted a pair

Of train robbers committing their crime

His Winchester roared, with the true speed of light

Stood his ground, never feared for his life

With all his guns empty he continued the fight

Using only his whip and his knife

He was wounded six times on that terrible day

Just flesh wounds though, nothing to fret

The crooks went down hard. In the dust they both lay

‘Twas the fate all who fought him had met

The train passengers cheered as he hopped off of Rex

The men shook his hands all around

He was fawned on and cheered by the opposite sex

As the ladies stepped down to the ground

“You’re my hero”, said one as she tried hard to kiss him

But his love was for Rex and high danger

She batted her lashes and knew she would miss him

This tow-headed true Western stranger

He was saved from her charms and her blue eyes so sweet

And he rode off a true Western winner

He hopped on Rex Stickhorse and dashed down the street

As his mom called, "Come home now for dinner"
