My Dream Cowboy

Clad in boots and jeans with hat and gun The cowboy ready for a long day run A stallion for his ride, rope on his side Diggin' tappin' taming on the vast terrain Tending herds of cattle, sheep and cows Sweat dripping unhidden to his brow Browny tough and skilled Rodeo man Soothened the bull on his crazy dance Crowd cheers - a resonating clang Sunshine sleeps and night sky creeps With guitar and cigar, the Cowboy sits and sings Humming: Yodelay -hee ho! Yodelay - hee ho! (c) Olive ELoisa 6:59 pm April 30, 2014 CONTEST: HOWDY PARDY SPONSOR: Shadow Hamilton 11th place

Dear Olive, I love your description of the cowboys herding cattle with sweat dripping from their brows. Indeed, this is a more accurate description of the old West than movies would have us believe. Your last line is priceless! Congratulations, Carolyn
