    Default The Bhoys and I (CTG)



    The Bhoys and I

    set down for this portrait --
    thought you'd like it real fine.

    We're wearin our best duds.
    Me, Butch, enthroned

    on the right, derby hat at
    a slick angle, and Sundance

    settin in a wicker job at left,
    Ben "Tall Texan" Kilpatrick

    settin in the middle, weighin
    down a rickety ole chair. Behind,

    mindin our backs, en-bloomed
    is Kid Curry and fobbed News Carver.

    I confess we left our sixguns
    a-layin on the photographer's

    antimacassar by the aspidistra after
    blowin smoke from the muzzles.

    See our gold watch chains shinin
    and our faces a-beamin more than

    on any Post Office wall:
    Five desperadoes is all!

    "Derby on the angle" is a baseball cap on backwards, or to one side.

    Fashions change, attitudes don't.

    Nice work BTW.

    Cheers,
