OLD JOHN WAYNE MOVIE

 

Stopped at a local dive bar

for a beer and a shot

and ended up staying

to watch an old John Wayne movie

with a bunch of old drunks.

 

I ended up drinking

a little bit more

than originally intended.

 

Even the Duke drank more

than originally intended

but he had a bullet wound

in the shoulder

which is probably

a pretty legitimate excuse

to go out and tie one on.

 

It made me feel small

that I did my boozing

merely on a whim.

Take A Stroll Into History

Feel big as the Duke, just remembering. I used to watch every Duke movie I could find. I loved Sugar Foot and Paladin, Cheyenne,  and Yancy Derringer, Maverick, Fess Parker in coon cap, The Rebel, The Law Man and, Gun Smoke. Who I miss? Those were the days of the Western, pilgrim :D
