Cowboys Where Are You?
There was a day on TV
Where westerns were all the rage
You could take your pick
From your TV paper page
Together our masked hero the Lone Ranger
With Tonto kept outlaws in a spin
Have Gun Will Travel was the card
For black dressed professional gunfighter Paladin
Wagon Train kept rolling along
Seth Adams the leader
Flint McCullough chief scout
Old Charlie Wooster was the feeder
Rawhide kept the cattle moving
Gil and Randy kept control
In Dodge City it was Gunsmoke
Marshall Matt Dillon was key role
On the ponderosa it was Bonanza
Where Ben Cartwright was the boss
With his family of three boys
Adam, little Joe and Hoss
Wells Fargo was the stagecoach
Where Jim Hardie was the star
Now these are only some
For they were many more by far
They were the Virginian and the Rifleman
Laramie, Maverick and Cheyenne
The High Chaparral not to mention alias Smith and Jones
These made us all a fan
Cowboys where are you?
Memories of you is our lot
On TV we can’t see
Is this our last shot?

Hey GORDON!!!.... This is great man!!....... what's so weird is that no one has written this sooner.........I mean, I still watch episodes of Rifleman, Bonanza, and Maverick on ME TV when I can........ but as I sit here thinking about it.........I can't think of one, single, new, western series that's come out in at least 10 years.......... this was such a cool thing to do bro.......... and VERY well delivered in it's rhyme scheme and formatting........... high fives my friend.............. smiles............T xo
thanks Tony, so glad you liked it, yes there's none westerns now at all here in the UK, I remember in its heyday in the 60s on British tv there were 21 different westerns on every week, far better than most of the rubbish we get now. My favourate was Wagon Train, in fact I used to tell my mother she should divorce my dad and marry Flint McCullough of Wagon Train!.
Well thanks again,
Gordon
