The Sundance Wives Stores: The Spirit of Tom Mix

Tom Mix walked
in, the brass cowbell
announced a loud welcome,
1880-1940 Hollywood cowboy
said "I want one of everything and
four of the whiskey kegs, no gift wrap,
I'll rap with Eminem, I want that brass
cowbell above the door, I'm taking it to
John Wayne to call Kathryn Hepburn in
for dinner,"

Sundance Wives blonde
got her wooden step stool,
pulled down the rope looped
over a black square wrought iron
nail, released the cowbell to Mix,
"I hated when Wayne told Hepburn,
'Let your women be silent in church'" -
Sundance Wives red circled Mix with a
tape measure, held out a custom vintage
embroidered cowboy shirt, "you're my star,
red garters on your sleeve, Barbara Stanwyk,
when you see her, give her these, one for each
leg, I loved her in Annie Oakley, she could shoot
'em out to the cosmo,"

money wouldn't
fit in the till, Pink Floyd
is a drink in the casino,
The Sundance Wives Stores
on the lookout for a Tom Mix
poster.
