FRANK SINATRA WAS A COWBOY
Frank was a singer,
Frank was a swinger,
He made movies,
He ran with the Rat Pack.
But he was also a cowboy.
Remember the song “South of the Border”?
He also made a movie called JOHNNY CONCHO,
With cowboy hat, gun in holster,
Kind of like Gary Cooper in HIGH NOON,
Only with Frank as more of an anti-hero,
The cowardly brother of a feared gunfighter
Who has Johnny’s back–until he dies (the brother).
OK, he was no Roy Rogers,
But Roy Rogers was no Frank Sinatra.
Also, Roy Rogers wasn’t Roy Rogers,
He was Leonard Slye.
Frank was really Francis Albert Sinatra,
But that’s close enough.
Happy trails.

You have me contemplating……I guess none of us are really who we appear to be, are we? That’s what poems are supposed to do I suppose. Thanks!
And how many people have a daughter who sings about boots? (Also he was married to Mia Farrow when she was about 16)
Researcher extraordinaire! What an interesting mind you have. HT to you as well!
There is one thing sure about this month, we never know what we will learn from your poetic offerings. My theme is “My Way”, it was his and no one else could touch it.
Yeah, but Paul Anka wrote “My Way”,
Fun poem
Elvis sang “My Way” live in concert in 1977. Paul Anka sang a version with alternate lyrics on a Jerry Lewis Telethon–don’t know the year.
