The Lone StrangerA Poem by Tom BensonA humorous look at a famous western team ...'Kimosabe just a sec', don't get too far ahead. You've got sunburn on your neck, and you don't suit it red …' 'On Silver you ride hummin', like you haven't got a care. Sioux war party is comin', and they're gonna have your hair' 'We've been ridin hard for days, and my red butt's getting sore. I've had to sit so many ways, I don't want to ride no more.' * * 'C'mon Tonto giz a break, it's only ten more miles. Be a 'brave' for heaven's sake, just forget about your piles …' 'Hang on ... a cloud of dust, they're chasing harder now. Stand together, fight we must, die together … show them how.' * * 'Kimosabe I'll not pretend, you have to understand. It looks like it's the end, at least for you 'white man' … * * * © 2011 Tom BensonAuthor's Note
