Tale of Two Kansas Cousins

by fm wright

Two Kansas cousins working for a break;
wanting to atone for their past mistakes.
So they went to a former member of the Devil's Hole -
the gaining of an amnesty was their goal.

With Sheriff Lom Trevors serving as their go between,
he tried to keep it so that they might remain unseen.
He went to the governor for to plead
their desire to reform from their past deeds.

The governor, his pardon, would not give
until they proved that on the side of the law they'd live.
So Smith and Jones, their aliases became
to avoid capture while they played the waiting game.

Each week there was a new adventure as Curry and Heyes
had to contend with their former outlaw ways.
And though the series off into the sunset rode,
a pardon for them was never bestowed.

Alias Smith and Jones will no doubt always be among my favorite westerns. Regrettably I was not able to get my computer to download any pictures from the series itself.
