SGT. QUINCANNON, SASS #32999 Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Hey UB, did you once, long ago write and post here a poem , called The Schoolhouse Saloon, or something similar? If yes, would you care to re-post it for me, and for new pards who might have missed it? If it was not you then my apologies to both you and the true writer. It is a fine poem. Thanks for your time.

Utah Bob #35998 Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Was it this'n? The Saloon There’s something about this here Saloon You can’t always figure it out Sometimes it looks like the phase of the moon Has left a few people in doubt A lunatic here, a big screwball there They’ve all bellied up to the bar Some are just young'uns and some got no hair They come here from near and far Bankers and lawyers and bakers of pies Farmers and realtors too Good looking women with bright shining eyes An occasional war horse or two Everyone’s laughing here most every night That’s the attraction I guess Get away from your troubles, and keep it all light Even if the whole world’s a big mess ‘Course it’s not all just jokin' and clownin' around Sometimes a ruckus will start But a smile will break out where there were a few frowns That’s a sight that’ll warm this ole heart It’s a real melting pot, this old Saloon here Maybe that’s why it works so well A slice of America and a cold glass of beer And the sound of the Liberty Bell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGT. QUINCANNON, SASS #32999 Posted August 8, 2020 Author Share Posted August 8, 2020 It was about a woman who owned a saloon, who became involved with a younger man, something of a greenhorn. She teaches him about what it takes to be a man in the West, along with initiating him into the mysteries of love. In the end he leaves, ready to make his way in a man’s world, and before long she finds another young man to help along. It was a good poem.

Utah Bob #35998 Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 I have a vague memory of that but can’t find anything in my archives. Could be it’s just one I scribbled inn the saloon and never created a page for my files. Or could be it was one of a Boston John’s fine creations. Just can’t remember.

Cactus Jack Calder Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Well UB, I liked that one. I have a file labeled POEMS I started with another of your literary wanderings. If you have more you would occasionally share I know I’d appreciate them. CJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
