A/N: A poem I wrote in Lit. class to pass the time. I love Dally. 3

---------------------------------------------------

White blonde hair and ice blue eyes,

Leather jackets and denim jeans.

Pale skin and a foul mouth,

Dallas Winston had all these things.

Hard as nails and twice as tough,

The roughest greaser there ever was.

Someone who fought to stay alive,

Dallas Winston was all these things.

You had to stay tough to survive,

You had to harden yourself beyond caring.

No one could help you, you were on your own.

Dallas Winston knew all these things.

Cigarettes and riding in rodeos,

Fights and broads and booze.

Breaking the law and causing trouble,

Dallas Winston liked all these things.

A boy who was battered and beaten,

A boy with black hair and tan skin.

A boy who worshipped him and never spoke,

Dallas Winston loved this thing.

Dallas had a lot of things,

Dallas was a lot of things.

Dallas knew a lot of things,

And Dallas liked a lot of things.

But Dally loved only one thing;

A boy named Johnny Cade.
