“Where did all the Westerns go?”
Bob Kuhn asked in his blog.
And it jerked me awake,
right out of my fog.
I thought long and hard
but couldn’t answer him.
It’s a serious question,
and not just a whim.
We’re about the same age,
both you and Bob and me.
Maybe I’m a little older,
but I suppose we’ll see.
He’s looking back
and I guess I am too,
to days so long ago
that we shared with you.
I saw the old photos,
me in hat and boots,
a pop gun by my side,
bad hombres I’d shoot.
It really did happen
so I know that it’s true.
It wasn’t a dream.
Did it happened to you?
If you love westerns,
and I bet that you do.
Then somewhere inside
Bob’s question rings blue,
“Where did all the Westerns go?”
