I enjoyed your poem told in Paladin's words. It serves to make the story seem more genuine. Your "oops", "bat out of hell", and "cuz" are great choices for Paladin from the West. Interesting a d skillful writing!

I remember Have Gun Will Travel very well. I watched it every week. Paladin was a tough guy. I liked your poem and it rhymed well. Great job. Shirley

I got a chance to binge-watch Have Gun Will Travel a couple of years ago. I couldn't watch it as a kid for two reasons: it was on CBS which was on a channel we couldn't get, and it was on after nine o'clock, Billy's bedtime. Cool premise for a show though and starring the only guy who could do it justice.

You have poetically presented a western story in a simply worded,
fast-paced, well rhymed poem.
Richard Boone being a great actor, I always enjoyed the tv show as a youth.
A worthy contest entry, nice work.

Nothing beats a good old western, Earl your poem enhanced the best parts of a western, the lone shooter, the outlaw. Great read and good luck in the contest.

I like the story you share, it has a great deal of character, the rhyme from line to line is a bit off causing you to loos some of the flow but you have a creative mind and this over all is a fun one to read. sometimes adding a simple descriptive filler word can balance your rhyme out just enough to blend the flow of your words, Great job, I'm sure many will enjoy this, Mancub

Very well written and flows great! It's smooth sounding the rhyme work well together. The meter, rhythm, and sound all combine effective and it makes a nice sounding composition with all the trills. It compliments poetry and has poetic value. I appreciate its overtone and good gesture. The one line sounds awkward, and that is, "I'm Have Gun Will Travel," in line 8/stanza 2.--I'm really not sure what it is supposed to read but I do not understand this line at all. I'd be happy to adjust my review upon correcting or clarifying. Overall, a good read with minor adjustments needed.

I loved Paladin and watched him all the time. All my father watched was westerns. I used to know Paladin's song by heart, lol...The Rifleman, I still shudder over the one where a rattler got in his bed...Gunsmoke and Dennis Weaver...Wagon Train...all those good men, heroes every one.
Rawhide...get em up...move em out...Rawhide...
Brought me a bunch of good memories!
