Blaze of Glory
She came to town in a blaze of glory
to do me down; out of the Dutchess and the Dirtwater Fox saloon she walks. She points provocatively at me.
Standing with my left hand on my hip
and my right hand flagging my welcome
whip, in my black thong with silver SS monogrammed climbing the crack of
Rebellion Pass, shaking in my lavender boots.
She polishes the dust off of her tin star on her left breast, licking her lips from lust.
But like a western soap opera, the answers would only come to those who waited and watched.
"Who shot the sheriff!" she yells in code,
with her holster strap-on packing a six-shot load. The town heeds at attention.
Tell you this story, shot her down in a blaze of glory. She left town the next day, her long golden hair dancing in the wind, galloping back to Dodge. The horses sighed, sad at her exit, wouldn't touch their hay. She left a lady in tears.
I broke off a branch and waved it in the air of the awesome affair.
All you have to do is let me be your storyteller down the dusty road of enlightenment. I am a woman who has ingratiated into a blaze of glory.

"But I didn't shoot the Deputy!" Who am I kiddin?!! :)) Bet you got a whole loada badge-wearing ombudswomen notched up and tattooed on that whip-crackin bicep of yours, Sage... and, although I prefer chaps, bet there are a whole loada chaps who wouldn't mind THESE sorta chaps, too...
Yep, put the horses out to water, spread that blanket on the ground and stoke up the tale-tellin fires you have already started... and where's Dale??? Mention of horses, blankets and campfires is not complete without him! :))
Hugs to you and your Mum - how do you manage it all?? Wonderful to hear of your close-knit bond - extra-special in the circumstances. May your times together be sweet and eternal. Be blessed be. LOL K xx |

Sweetwater is only the begining of your description I suspect and within a blaze of glory we will get to view a storyteller who knows how to keep her audience's attention!

Look out deputy, don't get in the way
of a gal with a six shooter under them
there, voluptuous hooters
Blaze, blaze, U consume the blaze with
U'r firey storytelling, glory be to that
skuffed up roads that U'r traveling
Place the branch and notes at the side
of each road U wonder, in a place where
the horses can feed,and each of the tears
will give new life to somethen
Be awaiting in the next town cause, its
U'r enlightenments, that brings up the
nights sun, to the comeing day
U have us all trotting along with U now
Great write

Reminds me of that Gene Hackman and Sharon Stone Western " The Quick and the Dead " !
You certainly can play all roles in life Sage with style, panache and not a little wisdom !
Keep tooting that six pack sister !

| Love affairs are almost doomed from the start, because we seem to expect so much more form the other party than they can possiblt deliver. Usually it is the "I" in thhe relationship that sends the love careening into the nearest ditch. Not say that is the case here, I'm just generalizing. |

With much love in my heart, joy to the world, peace on earth, & ((((((((((MANY WONDERFUL SISTERLY HUGGGGSSSS)))))))))), your little sister, Barbie
