A Cowboy Is

"I should have been a cowboy" Toby Keith sings in his song; I should have been a cowboy breaking horses all too strong... I could have been a cowboy sitting high up in the saddle, but my job wouldn't be easy since I have to tend to cattle... I would have been a cowboy if I was just one foot taller, but those jeans aren't made for someone fatter and smaller... I might have been a cowboy if I had lived out in the dust, but I was born in the East and stayed to watch it rust... Alas, I never became a cowboy - not sitting high, not very strong; but I do wear my cowboy boots whenever I sing with Toby's song. For "A Cowboy Is" contest sponsored by Tirzah Conway.
