Says Beleaguered Bart Maverick
by Bobbie Belle Boze
Mr. Bart Maverick, the roving gambler who recently caused riots in a nearby town simply by stepping out of his hotel, must now resort to playing cards outdoors. So many admiring females show up during his poker games that no saloon or gambling hall can contain them.
'They just won't leave me alone', Maverick sighed, 'So, as my old Pappy used to say...'
Whatever Mr. Maverick's old Pappy used to say was drowned out by girlish giggling.
When asked why women find Mr. Maverick so overwhelmingly attractive, a Miss L. A. Bartista replied that the answer could be found in her 'blog' (which apparently is some sort of foreign word for 'journal').
Another lady opined, 'Why, he's so much better looking than his brother, what's-his-name...Brit? Brat?'
Then, another woman, who identified herself as Mrs. Alexander, strode up to Mr. Maverick with pen and paper in hand. She said she was writing his biography and wanted to ask him a few hundred questions. Such as, did 'Mammy' Maverick ever say anything, where did Brent come from, and did Bart really love Stella the saloon girl or did he just say that because she was holding a gun on him.
Mr. Maverick replied that he would be delighted to answer Mrs. Alexander's inquiries just as soon as his poker game was finished.
This reporter asked Mrs. Alexander why she is writing Bart Maverick's biography.
She answered, 'Because his face belongs on a book.'" ;->
