The Ronin watched five samurai surround the cowboy and his mind drifted to the first time he had seen the cow puncher.
“Sir the Tokugowa Shogunate will see you know.”
The head retainer clad in magnificent samurai armor walked ahead of the cowboy. The samurai paused for a second to enjoy the sounds of the samurai armor clinking out a tune accompanied by the jangle of the cowboy’s spurs.
“Hey Pard that is funny little tune these spurs make when they’s a walkin with all them fancy duds use a wearin, I bet we’r the first fellas to her them 2 sounds tugetha”
The samurai,who didn’t speak english, said “A samurai lives his life for the perfect moment, the sounds of east and west, of spurs and swords…..we might be the first two people to ever hear those sounds together.”
The head Retainer opened the door for the horse salesman
to have his audience, while the samurai started writing a haiku in his head.
The cowboy thought, “Spurs jingle jangle, while kataners dangle…oh i’ll work on it later.”
