Baluster Puns

A cowboy was riding through the wilderness when he came upon a saloon

He had been riding for what felt like days, so he decided to stop in for a drink and bite to eat

So he hitched his horse and sauntered inside, the saloon doors creaking as he entered.

The place is packed. Raucous music, smoke and the smell of stale beer filled the air.

"This is mah kind of place" he thought to himself as he moseyed over to the bar.

He requests a shot of whiskey and a beer from the bartender and looks around at the goings-on of the saloon

There are people hanging from the balusters of the upstairs and the piano man has switched it up and picked up a banjo

The banjo is joined by an accordion and washtub bass.

The crowd, naturally, starts jeering at this spectacle, but the band plays on.

Our cowboy, now having had several libations and a lukewarm lamb stew of dubious quality, decides to make his exit.

He stumbles out the door and onto his horse.

He's almost done adjusting his hat when the bartender comes running out.

"HEY! Stranger! Can you get down from that horse and pay your tab?!" the barman shouts

Our cowboy smirks and shakes his head.

"Welp, I kin pay mah tab, but you don't git down from a horse, you git down from a goose."
