Cowboy Footles

Great lore
of yore

Big lands’
ranch hands

No work
to shirk

Tending;
mending

Bale hay -
okay!

Cows raised
Grass grazed

Horse spurred
helps herd

Strong fence
makes sense

Bull ride
gets tried

For kicks -
rope tricks!

I was wondering when you were going to post another footle. You are the queen of those.

thanks, you are too kind. I am running out of ideas for them and this time i did not rhyme each syllable, only the second syllables. It's really hard to do a story series with both syllables rhyming.
