Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Lee Van Cleef

Lee Van Cleef, a westerns' "bad guy,"

Though he played "good guy" sometimes too.

But that villainous look is why

Lots of villain roles he did do.

In some spaghetti westerns he

Was so memorable playing mean

That gave Clint Eastwood some envy

Who felt Lee stole many a scene.

But to Lee's funeral Clint went,

And as others, dressed in attire

Of wild cowboys to compliment

Lee's memory which did inspire.

A lot of "bad guy" roles Lee had.

His gravestone reads, "BEST OF THE BAD."
