Premium Member All Hat and No Cattle
They 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

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 Seattle
Like 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.

Jim Horn
Lived in Redmond, WA near Seattle
from August 1976 to May 2001.
Really liked it but too expensive....

Cattle
They 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 Dog
Rocky 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 Ranch
Imagine 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 Sky
Cattlemen 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's
Polar 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 Drive
Life 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 Tick
Boophilus 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...

Premium Member The Saddle-Strapped Cattle
Behold, 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...

Misty Morning
FOG LIKE PHANTOM STREAMS
misty beauty, white ravines
make mornings meaningful

Acacia arboretum hold fast
At the breaking before breakfast
The new day, old friends, egrets...
