Larry Bradfield Poet Quatrain

A Cowboy From Tulsa

I once knew a young cowboy in Tulsa.
He was broad shouldered with longish blonde hair.
He rodeo’d with the best of that breed,
And he was champion of our county fair.

He was something to see with the women. 
Always had a new beauty in his sight.
Never heard ‘em complain about nothin’-
He disappeared in the dead of the night.

We’ve got a high school rodeo team now.
About the best that you’ll find anywhere.
Four ropers, three bull riders and a clown –
They are all broad shouldered with long blonde hair.
