Sense Sonnet - Steamer

Rider Tall Tale

Buffalo Bill was known to tell
A tall tale about the wild west.
As a showman he sought to sell
His exploits as the very best.
Often he told of when he rode
Bravely for the Pony Express
Through dangers with the pouched mail load
Getting the precious mail through - yes!
He told this in his Wild West Show
Being a Pony Express star,
Making the Pony Express glow,
As he portrayed the legend far.

Buffalo Bill never did ride
For the Pony Express - he lied.
