The Bumbling Bandit's Blunder

A dusty town waits,
Sun bakes the sheriff's tin star.
Outlaws plan their heist.

Saddlebags are stuffed,
With dynamite and bad jokes.
Horses snort, "Let's go!"

They ride in a cloud,
Spurs jangling a silly tune.
"Yeehaw!" shouts the fool.

The bank door swings wide,
Teller trembles, drops his pen.
"Hands up!"—"Wait, my hat!"

One trips on a rug,
Spills the loot: rubber chickens.
Sheriff scratches head.

A chase through the street,
Horse stops for a carrot patch.
Outlaws wave, "So long!"

They vanish in dust,
Leaving laughter, not a trail.
Bank safe, full of fun.
Prompt: western bank robbers
