Riding With Pancho

Napowrimo poem 2
Prompt RWP acronym

We have been together for more than fifty years
Pancho is paunchy dishevelled and reeks of garlic
His clothes are filthy and he sweats profusely
His old mule Loco is a wreck and suffers from flatulence
( At least I think it is his mule )
He is too slow on the draw and drinks too much
He is too friendly with the banditos and cramps my style
I've thought about ditching him more than once
'Ooooo Ceeesco'
but when I hear these words
at the end of the show my heart melts
and I resolve to give him just one more chance
