COWGIRL ABECEDARIAN

A cowgirl Sue, and her
Big bay horse, Blue,
Clip-clopped, Clip-clopped
Down stone roads, of course
Entering Santa 
Fe.  "Let's go
Guzzle a gallon of sarsaparilla
Here at the Lone Branch Saloon," said Sue.
"I think that's a great idea," said Blue.  "It's
Just  what we should do."    "Any one
Know Dead Eye Dick?  We're
Looking for that
Mean Horse Thief," asked Sue.
Nobody moved.  The poker game stopped.  No
One even sighed, 'til a
Polite cowboy, who was 
Quiet and shy
Replied,
"Sue, we ran Dead Eye Dick out of our 
Town--that's what we cowboys do, and
Unless you're looking for a fight, the
Vultures will show you
Where Dead Eyed Dick died.
X my heart, that ain't no lie.  In peace
You're welcome here.  The score now stands
Zip for Dead Eye Dick-- Town,plus two.


    I had fun writing this abecedarian, can you try writing your  own poem in this form?  Have fun.
