The Cattle Don'T Care

Cowboys don't know ‘bout pentameter beat when their crooning to the cattle at night As long as the rhythm is soft and slow makes no difference if it's sad or light Don't make no mind if it goes dum-di-dum or if instead the rhythm is di-dum-di Cows sure don't care what some snooty dude thinks is the proper way to write poetry The herd doesn't know the meaning of words no use in fancying up what you say To mean what you say and say what you mean that has always been the true cowboy's way There's no need for some expensive degree just to lull all them cows to sleep at night ‘Cause humming a tune with no words at all can keep them calm until the morning's light So don't be afraid to write them a song with whatever rhythm or rhyme you choose It's okay if others don't understand as long as the tune means something to you
