You Need a Good Saddle

He sat emboldened in the saddle, The cowpoke on the plains, Herding his longhorns. Sometimes folks decorate with steer horns; A rancher must have a well made saddle But, unlike his home and car, it’s plain. He has to navigate many plains; Sometimes he’ll lose a longhorn; With a difficult task, he’s saddled. So, his well made ordinary, plain saddle, will last through years of herding longhorns without much pain.

It's easier than the Sestina; better stories in this form. Thanks so much I can hardly wait to see what you can do with the Tritina.

I like this cowboy poem. It is over my head, but I still like it.
