Poem
He grew one of them bushy mustaches like Sam Elliot wears under his nose Bought him some fancy duds from Cabela's sure looked spiffy in his Buckaroo clothes Alligator skin boots and silver spurs thought he looked like all them real cowboys did Added chaps and ten gallon Stetson hat and called himself the Kansas City Kid He'd got him a Palomino horse that he didn't have a darn clue how to ride And a beat up old red Ford pickup truck with a blue eyed dog to be by his side He packed up and headed to Montana from his home in the woods of Missouri Said he was fixin’ to be a cowboy and the best anyone would ever see He rattled that old truck to Montana it conked out right there in front of the ranch He said he wanted to learn to cowboy if the boss seen fit to give him a chance Well the boss brought him out to the bunkhouse told all us cowboys that his name was Tim Said he wants to be a cowboy you see so show him the ropes and take care of him I asked him what he knew about branding could he stick an iron to a cow's rump He said he would probably be alright if I'd be kind enough to show him once Well can you at least ride that horse of yours to cut out a heifer or throw your rope That boy looked at me straight into my eyes gave me a slight grin then shook his head "nope" Think you might be able to break a bronc that has spent its whole life out running wild “Well I was in a real mean sheep bustin’ back in Missouri when I was a child” What about fixin’ up supper vittles I might be able to use me a cook "Pretty sure I can do a decent meal as long as I have some kinda cookbook" Well I got me these here bulls need cutting and a short stretch of fence that you could mend Can't be that hard to cut a bull he says if you would just show me how to begin That was twenty years ago boss hired Tim cause there was something in him he could see Tim spent all that time learning to cowboy and became the best there would ever be
