Bull-Ridin' Slim

There wuz once an ol' cowpuncher named Slim

    Who attempted bull-ridin' on a whim

        Throwed in a heap of manure

           'Twuz more'n he could endure

                Thus ceased a bull-ridin' future fer him

G'day Bob … reminds me a tale I heard about for Birchip rodeo. The organizers tried to kid a school teacher from the city to give it a go, but he stated it was his first rodeo, and an organizer said, it's also the bulls first rodeo so you both learn together - thanks Bob - Lindsay

Thank you, Ilene - glad it gave you a laff. I like to write western stuff but am just about out of ideas! Stay safe. Hope your neighborhood is not involved in all this foolish rioting. Bob

Cute! I enjoyed this Robert. I am not a huge sports fan, but I could watch the bull riding for hours. Take care, Maureen

Thank you Maureen. Glad you enjoyed. We have many rodeos here in Colorado and I enjoy the bull-riding (wouldn't want to do it myself, that's for sure) and other rodeo antics. Stay safe - Bob H
