Larry Bradfield Poet Couplet

Pour Me a Beer

I want a table and a country song
I've been away from this for way too long
Play me some Jones and some Willie and Hank
Pour me some beer, give that handle a yank

I see my reflection from behind the bar
I'm too old for this and too old by far
Pour me a beer, give that handle a yank
Got some money from my pension to thank

I think I'll go on home and take my hoss
Just give my old waterin' hole a toss
Women ain't pretty as they used to be
Lawrence Welk's prob'ly still on the TV

Thanks for the nice comments! You write such beautiful and sophisticated poetry, I'm surprised at your interest in the cowboy genre. I do appreciate it, though...Larry
