Dogsbody

We all remember the old West:

The double-doored saloon,

The stone-faced marshal

Nonchalantly polishing his star,

The light relief of card sharks,

The men of few words,

The rough drinks, slung along the bar,

The menace of a parched cactus,

And you, the dogsbody,

Cleaning up the mess

Once the gunfighter has gone.

Thanks, Stephen.
There are actually adults who enjoy dressing up as gunfighters.

As a little boy in the playground I ran around with a cap gun, shouting "bang-bang, you're dead'".
Fantasy for some children, grim reality for others.
