Tv Cowboy

He rode his horse side saddle Across the rolling plains Scarlet polished finger nails Gripping diamantéd reins A little cocktail hat Resting on his head Dingly dangly earrings Sparkling ruby red. This dandy of the cowboys Dressed to impress one and all Showing off his finery On route to the Ranchers Ball. Beneath his jeans he wore Briefs, suspenders and a bra. He’d baulked at a girdle as being Just that one step too far. Tonight was the Ranchers’ Ball So what better chance To show off his finery in The ladies excuse me dance. He was tough and he was macho With no more need to impress No more need to conceal He need wear a lady’s dress. And any of his workmates Who laughed at that right Had better be good and ready To beat him in fair fight. His heart pounded with pleasure He wanted to scream and shout This was a changing world " Tonight he was coming out.

Any dude that wears a bra under his jeans, deserves to wear a dress !! More seriously, Terry, enjoyed your poem. l know many, that have "come out" and that first time seeing their confidence grow is invigorating. Your poem says it all.

Have a transgendered friend, a transvestite friend, and a few gay friends. They quietly get on with their own lives and I am horrified at the prejudice and abuse they face. This poem was to comment on their courage. Thanks wen

What was frowned on years ago is more accepted now, each to his own I say. Well written Terry. Tom

Absolutely agree with you Tom. They still face prejudice though and I am amazed at their courage at times.
