Wow, David, I can hardly envision the entire situation in my head. Back in the days, cowboy hygiene wasn't fairly up to scratch. In terms of the contest theme, this is a profound submission. Wishing you the best of success in the contest.

Heya Lasaad thank you for your visits today, I don’t write many Limerick’s, but this contest seemed to capture my imagination, your right cowboying was a dirty business in more ways than one back in the day, cheers David

I hope so super Mo, and I bet yours stinks just like everyone else’s, well most of us anyway, if y’all get my drift, cheers David

Lol :-D Reading your limerick brought to mind a scene from the movie comedy "Blazing saddles." Where the cowboys were all sitting around the campfire eating re- fried beans. Needless to say, if you saw the movie, you know what happened after they ate those beans. Best of luck in the contest. Smells, opps I mean.. "sounds" like a winner to me! Cheers Anne :-)

You read my mind Anne, see my comment to Alexis below, that movie was a game changer back in the day, Nothing was taboo or sacrosanct, I remember watching it shocked and delighted, cheers David

Thanks Tom, Cowboy hygiene was none too good back in the day, ever see the bath water in those old westerns, you could grow rhubarb in it, cheers David

Heya Alexis, I think the movie Blazing Saddles gave me the idea of the beans and cowboys, and then it came together gradually, cheers David
