A Gift For My Sister

On Saturday mornings the two children watched
As Sky King, and Flicka, and Rin-Tin-Tin stared
In Western soap operas where Bad Guys just botched
Each nefarious plan where the heros stood guard!

Their shouts and their cap guns filled living room air
While the sounds of hoof beats, and fist fights exploded
From a two inch cloth speaker. Ah what a land where
Gabby's, Roy's, Dale's and Trigger's images floated!


By noon they were over (At least 'till next week)!
The grown-ups took over and watched news don't 'ya know.
And the kids went to play cowboys down by the creek
And her saddle stool waited for the next Western Show!
