Antelope of Montana

Antelope of Montana, Texas and Utah too
Those eyes of yours are such a fine amber hue!
Your wide eyed innocence makes me smile
You can outrun me for a solid country mile.

Cowboys with wide brim hats sing songs of you.
Heartfelt missives under the azure sky of blue
As they round up the cattle, and make their beef stew
Chuck wagon cooks sing high praises of you.

Home home on the range is a great missive too
Sung above huge belt buckles of a silver hue
Makes me smile as I think of the few
Antelope I have seen with your eyes, Little Lou.

I call you Lou, Sue or McGoo sometimes too
To keep you in my mind as I sing praises of you.
And dream of your amber eyes, under this sky of blue.
Curious cowboys will always sing hymns inspired by you.

Oh how I remember Gene Autry, Roy Rogers, and The Lone Ranger...they came to mind while I was reading your poem.
