Wherewithal ... Episodic

Today’s word is “wherewithal” ... that with which to do something; means or supplies for the purpose or need, especially money. (Dictionary.com

Episodic
The t.v. show cowboy hid
     behind a rock,
He was plotting his revenge.
     Society had snubbed him.
He did not have the wherewithal
     to live in his desired luxury.
Now he would rob the stagecoach ...
     All those fancy people would pay.
As shot his gun in the air,
     His horse tripped in a gopher hole
And they fell in a cloud of dust.
     The stage rolled past.
The robber lay where he fell
     Considering his future,
           From a new angle.
(No horses were harmed in the
     Making if this fantasy.)
