Thank you, Anni. Maybe I'm a masochist because I do like making things difficult for myself. I considered rhyming each line as well, but that was a bridge too far. Perhaps next time...
There are cowboys and cowboys
but much depends on you,
and which movies were joys
as through childhood you grew.

later the Duke was prob’ly your pick,
but for me the hero was the man they named Clint.
