A Cowboy Is

I help herd the cattle to market far away. I am riding high in the saddle each day. I travel many miles, and then some more. That makes me quite tired and saddle sore. The sun bakes me until I’m red and dry. The ordeal is enough to make a lesser man cry. Each trip is dry, dusty, and dirty. It’s a difficult job, but it’s my duty.
