Larry Bradfield Poet Cowboy Poetry

I Saw It Coming

I saw it coming
long before it came
Couldn't help it though
Only I'm to blame

She was in a class
Strictly of her own
I was in a class
Of a lower zone

Still I fell in love
Cowboy boots and all
She said she wondered
If I'd ever call

We tore off our clothes
Both of mine and hers
Then came the mistake -
I forgot my spurs

Ripped her satin sheets
In  a dreadful shred
She swore and she cried
And wished I was dead

Pushed me through the door
Tumbled down the stairs
Broke both of my legs
They only work in pairs

I'll be in my chair
'Bout a month or so
They say that ain't bad
As broken legs go

She kept my new spurs
Hung 'em on a block
Put a sign beside
"Hang 'em or don't knock"

 I earned my lesson
And I learned it well
Leave spurs on you horse
Not in the hotel
