From my book "Jack Elam, I Gave You The Best Years Of My Life", about my love of westerns........
WEE TOMATO BAG
“There’s a
little cowboy in all of us, a
little frontier.” Louis L’Amour
My mother,
Forever wise in the ways of the
world,
Knowledgeable, sensible,
Always to be trusted,
Would tell this young son
That when a cowboy was wounded,
It wasn’t real blood,
It was just that his “wee tomato
bag”
Got busted.
