No Bullet Ever Grazed






No Bullet Ever Grazed 






Wyatt Earp, like they 

managed Wild Bill.

No lead in the back,

cards close to the vest

for this imperturbable body 

opener, stoic justice U.S.

      

No wild Indians, like chasing 

down George Armstrong.

Just lucky, I reckon (I guess) 

when it comes to killing 

Cowboys, to be honest 

and come clean.
