Best Cattle Poems
All Hat and No CattleThey hung around the beer joint with the finest Western wear
with thumbs tucked in their belt loops and such a studly air.
But those boots weren't made for stirrups and were polished to a sheen,
and on those fancy cowboy hats not a sweat stain could be...

Cattle Drive, Aussie StyleCattle Drive
Roll over a bit in me swag
Get some bones clear of the ground
Dew is on us swag cover is wet
Dingo is howling around
The cattle are camped in the corner
The frogs are croaking, smile creeps
Old horse has the nose bag on
Oats n the chaff...

Like Loading Cattle In SeattleLike Loading Cattle In Seattle
When we will spend time in Seattle,
We would like loading lots of cattle;
See Rainer;
Docile deer;
What to do next, we had big battle.

from August 1976 to May 2001.
Really liked it but too expensive....

CattleThey keep us turning down the halls like cattle
Keep your eyes up
Face forward
No phones
Stay in routine
You’ve done this for so many years now
No distractions
Don’t look at the broken people next to you
Face forward
A girl at your school killed herself because of the bullying
Study hard
They...

Rocky Is a Cattle DogRocky he’s a Cattle Dog
he’s coloured black and blue
He always lays around asleep
till work he has to do..
Two Preachers came walking up our path
to speak their line of spiel
They told me of their one true God
and did it with some zeal
At last...

Obudu Cattle RanchImagine hills where
landscapes slide into
heavens
Dews and hues
romancing its ranches
A decor of devil's bow in
soft tone
A cascade of bays
blending
A steaming geothermal
spa amid black lava fields
Thawing snow tumbling
Glitzy huts emerging from
riviera
Echoes of villagers
sparkling the harmony of
the wind
Howdy tourists...

Cattle Men In the Evening SkyCattlemen in the evening sky
Who have gone to their by and by
Have been seen now and again
By those considered special friends.
Ridin' the stars and ropin' the moon
Making it easy as they zoom
Only one in a million times they miss
They're lassoing is very crisp.
Each helps ...

Cattle and Suv'sPolar bears, spotted owls and honey bees
Care nothing of scientific debates
Over flatus of cattle and SUV’s.
Some drop big oil drills and some drop big trees
To provide a place for our dinner plate,
With its filet mignon or black eye peas.
The planet goes on with its...

Life Is Just a Cattle DriveLife is just a cattle drive
Of trending hype,
Of endless stress
Crushing like wine press,
A tango with fortune’s
Many taunts and tantrums,
A gamble to grapple with fate,
So gaze with care at the
Forked roads before you,
Which way can you surely say
Is...

Boophilus Micropilus: the Cattle TickBoophilus microplus (Canestrini)
I like the way you tightly hold on your prey
This is your sure way that never sways away
The bond between you two…
It’s tight and tighter at two
It’s even tightest without light
Coz you are always in sight in hidden site
You Boophilus microplus
You like holding...

The Saddle-Strapped CattleBehold, dear reader, a bit about a boy and his battle,
He fought for his family, his friends and all of Earth's cattle,
His world was straddled by what rattled atop some saddle,
Bound all beneath to bare all the brunt as do stone staddles.
A bishop, the boy...
