Cowboys
As far back as I can remember
A cowboy I wanted to be
But apparently I’m not a club member
For I’m a she and not a he
So I settled for being a cowgirl
Clad in my Dale Evans suit
‘Neath a cowboy hat I hid each curl
Hoping cowboys wouldn’t shoot
But they drew their pistols anyway
Laughing with great frivolity
And now that I’m older, I must say
Women still fight for equality
