Four covered wagons
Each pulled by four strong horses
In line all four began
A four weeks journey
Over four hundred miles
Four couples had gathered
To make this wagon train of four
With four men on watch each
Four hours at a time
The four wagons made camp
The four men hunted for food
And the four women cooked
Four couples shared companionship
Four hands of cards dealt
Four cups of tea for the ladies
Four jiggers of gin for the men
Four Banjos strummed songs
Four couples rested
Four refreshed horses harnessed
Four friends hit the trail again

This week's genre is Western. Your story may be serious or light hearted or as silly as you like just so long as it is 100 words or less and written for the following prompt
You probably think that I'm going to give you a list of things to choose from like sherriffs, gunslingers, tumbleweeds or dance hall girls but that would be too predictable. Tracy Fabre recently declared that the number you count must be three but in defiance to her I'm insisting the number be four and so
Your story must contain four of something
