Cowboy Funeral

greg skidmore

Wyatt Earp is working funerals.

Cry or get buffaloed

an thrown out of Tombstone.

Marshall Dillion patrols the cemetary

haters and grave dancers

will be shot on sight.

Billy the Kid digs the graves

with tiny callused murderous hands.

Bill Cody shouts the eulogy.

Hickock drunk blubbers in the back

he's deep in mourning.

Calamity Jane, that fat old whore

collapses on the coffin wailing.

The dandy Masterson leads the procession

strutting with an ivory topped cane.

This perfect Wild West burial

is for you Doc.

We loved your smarmy,

criminal, cracker ass.
