Robert L. Hinshaw Poet Footle

Cowboy Leroy

Leroy
Cowboy

Rode horse
Of course

His hoss
Named Ross

Ropes steers
Slurps beers

Slouch hat
Flaunts gat

Wears boots
No suits

Eats beans
Wears jeans

Raised hell
Pell-mell

What's more
He swore

Has gal
Named Sal

To pub
For grub

They dance
Romance

They kiss
Pure bliss

Gets slopped
Fun stopped

Big brawl
(That's all)

Christina Bowring September 29, 2023 at 3:44 PM This is a great storytelling poem Bob and very clever. This is a new form for me and your write illustrates it so well. Very clever choice of words makes it flow along lovely with great rhymes too. Loved the last two lines. Really enjoyed it. Thank you for sharing. Have a lovely weekend Robert L.
