The Best There's Ever Been

The day that boy was born, God showed his Texas side Gave a Divine chuckle. said, "That boy oughta ride!" At one hour old God put a twinkle in his eye "The makins of a cowboy that'll make gals sigh." He bowed the little legs just enough for swagger Fixed his feet for cowboy boots so's he won't stagger God trimmed his hips and waist so he'd fit the saddle Straightened his toes and knees so they didn't spraddle The years passed by as he won all there was to win He grew old and was called "The best there's ever been." When he died they found on his back a small tattoo "My son, you were born to rodeo! - See that you do !!" September 30, 2016
