The Beauty And Essence Of A Pretty Cowgirl
Although she wraps herself in soft leather,
Wearing her pointy-toed cowboy boots,
She delights in darkest stormy weather
And banging sounds her fast six-shooter shoots;
But hurt her and she just barely whimpers,
She is a lovely cowgirl through and through
Best to flee fast if rousing her temper
For she may stomp and beat you black and blue.
Yet gently hold her hand and give a kiss
You she may then gift a romantic night
You shall next wake unto heavenly bliss
But lord man, don't you ever pick a fight!
Although she wraps herself in soft leather,
She delights in darkest stormy weather.
R. J. Lindley, June 26th 1979
Sonnet, ( That ravishing beauty wearing cowboy boots )
Note: 7- 02- 1979
Met a cowgirl at the club, she was absolutely gorgeous.
We rode together all weekend. No saddle needed.
She left me that Monday morn, saying- "maybe again next year"..
Note: 3-11-2021
There truly are some that are totally unforgettable..
She wore high-heeled, pointy-toed kickers
Like American city slickers
Walked out on the ice
Against all advice
Promptly fell down and soiled her knickers
Night shoes, flashy white shoes
Dancing shoes, to jazz or blues
Fancy shoes -- purple, orange or pink
Hypnotize night eyes, blink-and blink-a-blink
Sleek shoes, pointy-toed, pinched-waist narrow
Worn with Italian suits or by urban caballeros
Night shoes go out and paint the town
Lift you way high up ~ never bring you down

Doing the jive in a beehive
Can be detrimental to your life
Performing high kicks
With pointy toed flicks
Will cause the bees to sting your behind

My book of life contains a cowgirl page
When pointy-toed boots were still in style
And Nudie country jackets were the rage
I'd pick a special hat out of the pile
You'd see me coming for a country mile!
There was a certain one that I recall
I'd wear it when I'd go out line dancing
Chocolate colored suede and inches tall
I would put it on and start my prancing
Gave me confidence to be romancing!
On the dance floor doing a dipsy dive
Flirting with the cowboys,having fun
That hat seemed to make me come alive
Calling everybody "shug" and "hun"
That cowgirl hat was sure a special one!
