Cowboys

Never played with girls back then
lessen they were packin’ guns.
We won the west and rode the range
wore tin stars apon our chest.
Gunsmoke, Lawman , The Rifleman
or Cartwrights on the Ponderosa

who cared, knew we were the best.
When mum decked  us out as cowboys
men were men, the Duke was King
for two tough hombres like us.

    A very good write and interpretation of the picture prompt. Good flow and tone. Very nice rhythm. Good depth of feeling. You capture the essence of this family memory. Good word choice, alliteration and nice assonance. Well penned and much enjoyed. Best wishes in the contest.
