Cowboys and All That Jazz - For Phillip Garcia

Her poetry was conceived
'round fancy pants scraps,
inclined to reverberate wrangles
'tween an I reckon ma'am
and well versed jazzy visuals,
paid no mind to cowboy's
bumbling foolishness &
lumbered foreign gibberish 
knowing full well it was
a lone star disposition,
merely a Texan head trip

See y'all next time...


Written in response to him calling out my words as 'fancy pants'...all in good fun.

"Well yessum we surely do. Y'all fancy type just lasso circles 'round us with yer fancy pants words."

Howdy Ma'am, are these here folks causing you any trouble? This was more fun than Saturday night armadillo wrestling or smearin salve on Ma's saddle sores. I hope Phillip had fun with this one. Really very Texan Paloma.

LOL! Are you from Texas too? Wait, what....seriously armadillo wrestling, I'm not touching Ma's saddle sores. I thought all you guys did was hang out in saloons, chew tobacco and ride horses and/or bulls. Thanks for rescuing me Chris, much obliged sir. :)
