Gal From Tucumcari

Poem: Gal from Tucumcari
Edited by: Sparkle Jordan
written: April/2017
The next woman I marry
will be a Gal from Tucumcari.
she'll be tougher than a
desert Tree Cholla
Wilder than a New Mexico
tumble weed -
Why sonny boy!...She can even
rope a steer, and bring it down
to it's knees.
She's adventurous indeed
that gal I marry from Tucumcari -
She'll know how to fix those
country vittles - biscuits, grits,
with gravy -
as she sips on a cup of her
favorite joe....
that gal I marry from Tucumcari -
When I see her come riding pass
my place off Route 66,
I'll know it's her - passing
my door.
She'll be driving in an old pickup
filled with hay, as she goes pass
the sagebrush.
She'll be wearing old worn out
dungarees, with a scarf around
her neck, and spurs on her boots -
Sonny boy, I'm here to tell ya
Gods, gonna send her to me....
That gal I marry from Tucumcari -
She breaks wild horses
to set them free -
she's rough and tough
with a whole lot of moxie
She's the woman I'm gonna
marry from Tucumcari -
