Hope; I have taken the characters of this poem and written a short story entitled "The Sheriff of Laredo." Thank you for taking the time to read and comment. Yes, love can change us all. (Smiles) Wanda
>>Handlebar Pete
>>
>>There once was a fellow who lived out west
>>who wore a Stetson hat and a leather vest
>>There were faded levis on his lean, tall frame
>>every person in town knew him by name
>>
>>At birth, his mother had named him Peter
>>never saw a woman who was any sweeter
>>He wore large jangling spurs upon his feet
>>everyone called him Handlebar Pete
>>
>>He packed a large six gun on his hip
>>quicker then a flash, out it would whip
>>He’d get that evil glint in his eye
>>twas best to stay clear or prepare to die
>>
>>One day Two Gun Sally came to town
>>from a fight she would never back down
>>She tied her horse at the hitching post
>>began walking to Luci’s for some pot roast
>>
>>On the board walk she ran smack dab into Pete
>>causing him to stumble, and fall into the street
>>Sally laughed to see him lying in the dirt
>>she never even bothered to ask if he were hurt
>>
>>As he stood, there was that evil glint in his eye
>>I was afraid Two Gun Sally was going to die
>>She reached out her hand, and touched his arm
>>“Sorry Handlebar, I sure didn’t mean no harm”
>>
>>She smiled real big with those sweet baby blues
>>now, what’s a mean ole cow poke going to do
>>Pete said, “Sally, let’s go get something to eat”
>>He took her by the arm; they walked down the street
>>
>>That happened two months ago to the day
>>do you hear that music coming our way
>>Guess what, Pete and Sally are getting married
>>they’ll be hitched, and their guns will be carried
>>
>>Pete and Sally are the new law in our town
>>with those guns, there’s no outlaws to be found
>>Little children play stick ball out in the street
>>Two Gun Sally has become really sweet
>>
>>Pete no longer has that evil glint in his eye
>>he smiles a lot, doesn’t even have to try
>>He still wears a Stetson hat and a leather vest
>>without a doubt he’s the fastest gun in the west

>Hey Wanda , reading this was a real treat
>I'm sure glad those two could meet
>just shows what love can do !!!
>Hope
