Olive Eloisa Guillermo - Fraser Poet Triolet

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!

Indeed, this is a more accurate description of the old West than movies would have us believe. Your last line is priceless!
