Three Greenbacks

There's three greenbacks in my pocket Most I have had was ten This cowboy's life don't make you rich The green is pretty thin Now I could take my three dollars - An' that's the whole dang pot - Then ride to town and have a beer Or maybe I might not Think I'll ride home and take a nap Monday's sure to foller Prob'ly spend it in the saddle Sittin' on three dollars 3-14-19 Writing Challenge 2, November - A Poem Meaningful Sponsor, Dear Heart - Wisshkobi Ode

Larry congratulations on your Honorable Mention in my writing challenge. I liked your poem but it did not read as meaningful but still a wonderful fun write.

Thanks for the Honorable Mention! This was sort of the conversation I had with myself back in the 50's in Texas on whether to become a cowboy or go on to college. Meaning ful only to me.
