A Cowboy Is

The unsung heroes of the open plains
The outlaw bandits like Jesse James 

Cut throat thieves and black jack hustlers 
Green horn Cowboys and long horn rustlers 

They all stood the Cowboys test
A stetsons man a broncos best 

Leather chaps and leather vest 
A real man's man a cut above the rest 

Blazing saddles and blazing guns 
Long trail ride and mountain runs 

Chuck wagon chilly and camp fire sites 
Hot sweaty days and long cold nights 

A Cowboy sits on his faithful steed 
Quick draw fingers based on speed 

Bandanna mask and whiskey flask 
A Cowboys job is'nt an easy task 

Tabacco chew and cow beef stew 
a Cowboys gang and Cowboys crew 

They did work from dusk to dawn 
round 'em up and brand 'em all day long 

Gee!!! and haw!!! right and left 
Yee and haw out of breath 

Cowboy slang and Cowboy lingo 
even Mexican Cowboys that say Gringo 

Greetings y'all and howdy stranger 
long lost wranglers and lone rangers 

Ruff and rugged with no frills 
Ask questions later shoot to kill 

Yellow belly buckaroos and snake oil peddlers 
wanted dead or alive outlaws and frontier settlers 

From the California gold rush of 48 
to the 13 colonies of this great state 

Cowboys lived and Cowboys died!!!!
Cowboys give for Cowboys pride!!!

Rambling Mad

Madder then the mad hatter 
wearing a black bandanna, 
the  word spinning 
head scrambling 
lyrical attacker,
taking your  words 
and pinning them to the wall with a  dagger, 
head so spun 
you stumble and stagger,

two feet set 
but  struggling to climb the ladder,
take a draw from the pipe 
then call the smoking caterpillar,

because it’s better to chase the rabbit
then the dragon,
Your crumbling slow demise 
as the wheels fall of the wagon, 
body so young 
but the skin is full of aging,
Pickpocketing your beauty 
like the artful dodger and Fagin.

Now You may think I’m  mad, 
and the waters  I tread are a  murky,
but there’s a man over there called Benji 
and he’s  a talking to a turkey !!!!

Premium Member Mali's Day

I was in a field near Maitland, just wading through this rain
and I'm feeling about as ragged as my jeans
Mali went home to lay down just before this rain
started spinning this old man's mind back into a dream

so I pulled my wood flute from my dirty red bandanna
and played it softly as I learned to sing the blues
didn't hear the words or see the lies just held Mali's hand in mine
We must have sung every song this grand-pa knew

Dreaming is just another word for nothing left to lose
Nothing means everything because this life it ain't free
And feeling good was so easy, Lord, Till I sang the blues
In real life feeling good was good enough for me

From her fast track to play time, she loved laying in the sun
That's where we could discuss the secrets in our souls
Through clear and stormy weather, arguments and the fun
Yeah, this blue eyed baby girl kept grampa from the cold

On a clear day near Amplatz, Lord, I felt her slip away
You knew she went to look for her Big Bro, I know Liam found her
I'd gladly trade all of my tomorrows for one single yesterday
If I could be holding that precious Mali on my knee

To remember is yet another word in this life some must lose
Dreams, hope and deep faith that's what Mali left me
Speak often to all who cross and you will realize who is free
Learning this together was good enough for me and Mali McGee

I'Ll Rest Here a Spell

While I was riding across the sagebrush
I happened upon this soft running creek
My face and neck were burning just a bit
my stomach was getting a little weak

Seemed like a decent place to rest a spell
and from my mare I jumped down to the ground
I pulled the saddle from Jilly Gal's back
so she could take a drink and graze around

I wet my bandanna in the water
it was as cool as the mountains in snow
So I shucked off my dusty cowboy boots
and let that water run across my toes

While sitting there I started a thinking
when was the last time a bath I had seen
So I stripped right on down to my long john's
and I decided I would plunge right in

Now my old bones are feeling much better
as I spread across the grass in the sun
If ever a time I've been happier
I am not sure I can come up with one

Do your dance across the rocks you ripples
and gurgle for me a jolly old tune
I'm pretty darn sure I won't be riding
away from this spot anytime too soon

Premium Member My Kind of Day At the Beach

At the beach, digging beneath the pier
harvesting minute shells;
sharks teeth and all sorts of goodies; 
I make jewelry you see; Cowrie earrings paired
exclusively with brown Tiger-Eye; a tasty treasure, 
eye candy of a semi-precious nature.

Naticas, Tulips, Conch’s and Crown’s
paired with Smiling Shark’s teeth,
for the Seafaring Pirate Effect is
inspiration, for my more aggressive muse.

I package my haul in an azure blue bandanna and
hand-to-brow, I look upwards at a winging gull,
in the sunlight above, feeling the
 breezy-brush of her wings upon my face.

Cooling waves, embrace my feet as I saunter towards a 
favored spot, up the beach; the surf’s song can’t
possibly be any sweeter to the ears; I hear it
whispering, “peace...release...peace...release...”
I let go of every bit of stress and embrace
ocean’s mantra.

Time to sun, a towel upon the hot sands
I don my sunglasses and sunscreen;
tune to my favorite song on my iPod and lie back,
feeling Old Sol’s cordiality, upon my skin.
Days like this are pure,
mind ambrosia.


Premium Member My Personal Ad Part 2

I'm a blue collar worker who works outdoors 
and I'm also required to wear a hard hat all day. 
My exposed skin and face tan at a very fast pace, 
but beneath that hard hat, absolutely no way. 
The last time I went bandanna free, 
someone got distracted, lost their footing and tripped. 
All I heard as I fled the scene was, "Did you see that human Q-tip?" 
In addition to speaking in rhyme, I dress in black all the time 
but that shouldn't reflect upon my personality. 
I just claim not to be so great when I attempt to color coordinate 
but the simple truth is black is safe and I'm just lazy. 
I live the single lifestyle and by that I simply mean that I have chosen to live alone. 
I enjoy True Solitude, so I don't share living quarters very well. 
My home has to be My Home. 
I keep mostly to myself but that shouldn't suggest that I can't be the life of the party.
Back in my day I wore many a lampshade. 
Now I've calmed down. I don't party too hearty. 
Well, enough about me. What about you? 
What are your interests, your passions? 
What do You like to do? 
Who knows where this might go or how it might end. 
At the very least, I Hope to find A Real and True Friend. 
Oh yeah, one last thing I need to mention to you. 
A little sex from you also would be very nice too. 

I was doing very well. I was doing just fine 
and then I had to blow it with the very last line. 
Am I right ladies? Damnit!

Premium Member Panther

A story had been told about the Great Lakes,                                    
underwater panthers could they be fakes.                                                  
They were also seen in Canada,                                                                 
they would be cute in a bandanna.                                                              
The body came from many animal parts,                                                     
was that really very smart.                                                                     
Spikes running along their back and tail,                                                   
could this be a big old fish tale.                                                               
Tribes say most powerful underworld being,                                             
before believing I need seeing.

Premium Member North Americas Southern Trees

Deep in the south, lives the Southern Pine.
I love the fresh pine scent, it’s really quite divine.
The palms adorn the water’s edge, such sturdy summer trees.
As they grow, they will bend and shape up in the breeze.


The Magnolia has a lovely flower; its scent is, oh so sweet.
Downwind in the evening breeze; it makes the day complete.
Evergreens unfurling their new baby greens; will make a fright, Halloween;
when their mass of moss highlights eerie moons scenes.


The Catalpas displaying their long pods; nicknamed Cigar Trees; 
create an eerie vision of waving fingers in the breeze.
Pawpaw trees, with their sweet fruits; better than bananas;
These tasty treats are great to eat so, fill up your bandanna!

Southern trees are beautiful, like Cypresses and Red Cedars.  You must go south to see them all; yes you must, dear readers.
