A Distracted Cowboy

A warning to those men
on the verge of transformation, 
I must disagree:
it's an abomination 
to shake the wrong apple tree;
who's not harmed by pain?

A cowboy who rides
a beautiful horse,
not wearing his Roper booths 
and his Desperado western hat,
is not a real one who promises fun,
oh, mercy: you got the blues!
Go ahead with your ridiculous ban:
I couldn't care a bit less,
I'm not a giggling brat:
I stick to my sharp guns!

It's no wonder to anybody
that those handsome cowboys 
attract the prettiest girls,
their lips constantly drool,
they keep away from any fool;
their urge is irrepressible:
aren't they so sexy and so adorable?
Oh, they love with sincerity!
It's the common rule for everybody
who hears the rhythm of their own heart
beating fast on the quietest night!

A distracted cowboy
who rides a beautiful horse,
not curbing the wild cattle,
he lets his mind be driven by despair;
he must get what he wishes for!
He won't be happier than Bill:
the acclaimed cowboy
in all the counties of Texas!
Send him lots of kudos,
make him feel wonderful!
