Cowboy Hat

Why does my new girlfriend always wear a cowboy hat
She lives in the big city in a high rise council flat
I gazed up at the window of her flat up in the sky
And when I did a bloody pigeon did one in my eye

So as I walked away I’m wiping poop to clear my sight
But droppings kept on plopping on my shoulders left and right
All I could do was duck and dive and try to dodge the splats
I looked around and everyone was wearing cowboy hats

Annie and her daughter were looking at Facebook yesterday when one of them said, ‘I dunno who she is but why is she wearing a cowboy hat?’. PING!

I think I’d be changing that hat for a sombrero. Glad to give you a giggle. Terry
