Fight At The Not So Ok Corral Poem by Tom Billsborough

Fight At The Not So Ok Corral



Once upon a time in a small place called Tombstone, Arizona
there lived a man called Poey Munta When he was born the midwife slapped a ticket on his backside with Error to Origin
stamped on it. He never forgot that and for the rest of his life kept repeating the phrase at every opportunity. When he grew it he sold guns at a knock down price for Family parties. Some were Republican and some were Democrat. Sadly, he barely scratched a living at it but one day he had a terrific bulk order, four revolvers,
and after the punters had left he danced a jig to his favourite tune,
"Wrong Verification Code."
His customers were Why A Twerp, who had just been elected Sheriff of Tombstone, despite the fact that he had secured less votes than his rival, who was hopping mad and warned him
not to go near her "Not so OK Corral" or she and the rest of the
Clantons would blow his ruddy head off! Why A Twerp and his three brothers who were also Twerps weren't going to stand for this and right away went to buy some new revolvers from Poey Munta. They were even more narked when Lady Susan Godiva
galloped past on her white horse shouting insults at the Twerps.
"She's a bare faced cheek, " cried Why A...
"Not to mention bare cheeks, " added one of his brothers.
So stung into action the four Twerps and the Doc strode down Tombstone's main street towards the "NOT so OK Corral"
They reckoned the three Clantons wouldn't stand a chance as
they took aim and squeezed their triggers. But instead of bullets popping out, each gun sprouted a flag through its muzzle.
On each flag were those famous words "Error to Origin"
Knee-pad Billy Clanton and Hilary took full advantage and filled
the Twerps with lead. But danger was at hand. Doc Holliday had brought his trusty shotgun and levelled it at Knee-pad Billy. But Wild Susan was at hand too and with her lariat roped the good doctor just as he fired and dragged him off to Boot hill. The Clantons cheered their super hero and soon loaded their cart with Twerps and followed Wild Susan up to Boot Hill.
"It's a darn good thing you forgot to dress this morning, Miss Susan, " Hilary observed. "You'd have been awful hot dragging
that Doc up here otherwise."
" Well, I say a girl should stay cool at all times, " winked Wild Susan and her horse, also naked, whinnied in agreement.
