The Man Who Delivered the Movies

 

The Saturday afternoon matinee

Outside the Palace Theatre in a line

Impatient for the hour, the man, John Wayne

Air-conditioning, popcorn, Coca-Cola, escape

 

Then riding to the rescue of the ranch

The man who delivered the reels of fun

Running up the steps with a big grey case

Of Rio Bravo – he brought us our dreams

 

And did he know, speeding to little towns

That he too was a hero of the Golden West?
