Lost Hope

Oh, he was new, like a few, no clue what to do But he had a horse, could ride of course, might be worse He could always learn, and then earn, wages to burn They ate well, so they tell, down by the dinner bell A cowboy's life, with strife, may keep him from a wife He goes to town, and messes around, nothing found Restless, he starts to feel nestless, never stressless He learns to rope, ways to cope, tries not to lose hope So then, he tries again, just like all other men Then quits of course, rides his horse, tends his cows with remorse 7-24-20 Contest: Keen Observation I Sponsor: Funom Makama

A big big congratulations for this feat. I am so sorry this is coming a month late, due to the pressure, we medical practitioners are facing at this time, I didn't have the time to go through the contest, but I am glad I did. it was a difficult decision to make, a big congratulations to you once again.
