A Cowboy Is

~~~Cowboys~~~


When I was a kid I wanted to live
On the Ponderosa, a cowgirl I'd be.
The daughter-in-law of Ben Cartwright
And Little Joe would marry me.

Cowboys stoked my imagination,
Made me dream of times gone by.
They were men who were strong and brave
And many a cowboy caught my eye.

Westerns I watch, I'm an avid fan.
The cowboys always make me smile.
I daydream along and wish myself there
If only for a little while.

So if you want to catch my eye
Just wear a stetson and a pair of tight jeans.
Then you're halfway to winning my heart
For my interest towards cowboys leans.

The late Michael Landon was a native of Collingswood, New Jersey. That town is practically a stone's throw from where I am presently. Francine, you have your usual great descriptiveness and rhyming here. Another fine job.
