' It Was a Cowboy Knight ... ' (Cowboy Poem # 6)

… Year 2009’ In North America Knights of Old, Still Ride in Shining Armor Still Living Life, by Honor and A Test Ain’t You Heard of: ‘ The Code of The West ’ ? Ain’t Talking ‘bout some Hidden Outlaw-Band … Just, The Open, Honest, Whole-Hearted Brand The Ones, That Do Right afore Might … They, Are The True, Cowboy Knights … Always Saving Some Damsel in Distress In a Trail of Dust … They Leave The Rest They’re Keeping Chivalry, Polished Bright … May The Lord Love … Cowboy Knights A Noble Breed and Ladies Delight Stand Tall ‘nuff, to Keep Love-In-Sight Taking Care of Business and Disputes Ain’t You Ever Heard of John Wayne, ‘The Duke’ ? Yep, They Got Valor Enough, to Deal With Danger Just Like A Legendary Texas Ranger And if it’s The Last Man Standing, In A Fight … … You Know … It Was A Cowboy Knight … … Riding On A Quest, Thru The Wind Some Woman, They gon’ Claim and Defend Wearing A Hat and A Cocky-Grin … ‘Cause, They Know They’re Gonna’ Win … Riding Off Into A Blazing Sunset Just Like That, You Ain’t Never Gon’ Forget You Think of Them On Some Lonely Night … … Yes Mam’ … It Was A Cowboy Knight ! So, ‘fore You Put On ‘The Coat-of-Arms, Clothes There’s One Oath, Every Man Should Know ‘Fore You Take The Hat and Boots On To Begin … Make Sure You Live Up To The Legend … And May Your Humble Heart, Strive for the Height if Kneeling, to be Dubbed … A Cowboy Knight … For You Tim Ryerson... Cause Like A Cowboy Your Mind Rides The Range Everywhere and Roundsup Words For Our Enjoyment - Sometimes Quirky, sometimes Colorful, or Substantial and Uniquely Your Spin on It ... Your Poet-Pal, MoonBee
