Angela Crabtree Poet Rhyme

Where Are All the Cowboys

Where are all the cowboys?
Where have they all gone?
Maybe they're in Texas, but they sure ain't here - yeehaw!
The type who says, howdy, ma'am.
Then they tip their hat.
Maybe they're in Arizona, I wouldn't have knowledge of that.
I saw one in a magazine just the other day.
It's beneficial he couldn't observe me, and I'll leave it there, okay?
Where are all the cowboys?
Tell me, where could they all be?
Maybe they're in Colorado, but they ain't in Tennessee.
The one's who say, you sure are pretty.
Do ya mind if I sit down?
A man gets mighty thirsty, and I'm currently in this town.
I'm not sure what else to say.
That's just how I feel.
If God don't send a cowboy soon, I might find one I can steal!

*Inspired by listening to my Urban Cowboy soundtrack

John Gondolf October 15, 2020 at 6:21 AM Howdy, ma'am, plenty of cowboys here in Texas, just sayin'. Growing up in Texas, even in the big city, you grow up with a cowboy attitude. Enjoyed your poem, Angie, nicely done. Hugs, John Angela Crabtree October 15, 2020 at 8:34 AM I've never been to Texas. I've heard it's a beautiful state. Thanks for reading, John. I really appreciate it :)

Caren Krutsinger October 15, 2020 at 3:10 AM This is great! We used to have a type labeled COWBOY. I never could figure out how to use that type. Not sure it is still a choice, but this is great and would have fit. Angela Crabtree October 15, 2020 at 8:33 AM Thanks Caren for reading. I don't see many anymore. I guess it's not as popular as it once was. :)

Victor Buhagiar October 15, 2020 at 12:57 AM Funny I never wore a hat, cowboy style is not my style. Loved your poem. ~~ Angela Crabtree October 15, 2020 at 8:26 AM I guess some guys never wear hats and some wear them all the time ;) Thanks for reading, Victor
