Verlena S. Walker Poet Free verse

Cowboys

Cowboys aren’t smart.
They are from California and the tale of how the West was won.
They ride horses and make movies that many times is watched by dudes.

Cowboys are smart.
They are from California and how the West was won.
They ride horses and rope cattle and build log cabins that they say is their seat in Heaven.

Cowboy movies are liked by many and they always want to fight Indians.
A cowboy can be a real idiot and when he wants to be a genius, he is real witty.

Cowboys and how the West was won.
Very funny…

Richard Lamoureux May 8, 2014 at 9:32 AM When I was a kid one of the first movies I ever seen in the theatre was Little Big Man. It portrayed native people in a positive honorable way. This was quite a departure for that period in time. Verlena S. Walker May 8, 2014 at 12:21 PM Thanks for commenting Rick... I enjoy your stories and remarks... Indian and Cowboys always came in close proximity in how the West was won. Verlena
