Decides the leader,
 from his ranch gives an order -
  dies a poor soldier....

nitrogen rich dung
loose green cow patties flung….
sprouts tender and young...

Start it off by saying grace
Steak at it's finest
Marinated chipotle
Delicious to taste
Tender and juicy
Oh my God
Great!...

They say at the Lonesome Dove ranch
A turkey flew up to a branch
Invited to lunch
It pooped on the bunch
But it learned not to mess with Blanche!...

I dropped a fork down my recliner chair
I know it’s somewhere way down there
I would not go after it, even on a dare
For fear there is a mouse ranch under there....

An old cowpoke on a ranch near Cheyenne
Is Wyoming’s main Muppet fan
His wife’s mad as can be:
It’s Miss Piggy or me!
He sighs: Don’t worry Kermit’s--her man

Montana

he'd ride
his pygmy
pony as i

try to sing
along my
voice is 

a little hoarse
as i ride my
porcelain

horse
into
the

sun

in love, the chicken squeezed — red comb,
a brighter hue than the child’s hair.

There once was a singer with a white glove
Who concealed kinky expressions of love
   At his 'Neverland Ranch'
   The weird stuff made folks blanch
For the love in his glove came with a shove...

The fish swam around
  curious what he found
A brand-new ranch house
  floating in Puget Sound

Nothing for him there
  so he just shrugged
Unlike the poor humans
  their home waterlogged...

A high-strung duck on a ranch up in Maine
is best pals with a wistful Great Dane
One goes quack! Quack! Quack!
while the other lays back
Their friendship is hard to is hard to explain

Monroe was always up before dawn got too deep
cookin' coffee and bacon while we're still asleep
When five o'clock rolled around he'd ring that damn bell
Many a morning I'd liked to send him to hell...

I had an apple
It had a worm in it
So I diced it up evenly
Added croutons and place him in a salad
Ahh! nothing like a little protein
Where's the ranch dressing

Long slender blades, sort of a cactus, kissing cousin to a palm tree
                             Indians years ago, used to make soap from it
                         On our ranch in New Mexico, we called it "Soap Weed"...

Sheep are shorn
not because it’s Spring wool has grown too long

Shivering as Winter’s blades dig in
furthering suff’ring’s wrong

The shepherd unsheathes his sword,
“vengeance is mine,” the Lord’s song

Some say that he was the "Robin Hood" for the poor in Old Mexico
                  Others say he was a tequila drinking horse thief, murderer to boot
          One night on my great grand father's ranch in New Mexico, Villa stole their horses...

Once on a ranch in Texas, a new pup was born, the mother had died
           An old Mexican man that worked there, put the pup on a nanny goat
    As time went on, the dog stayed with the goat herd day and night, the dog thought 
    it was a goat...

Exuberating, elevating, rehabilitating. 
Aah!   Exhilerating in this "Happy Valley."
Far from the top,
but I feel sky high.
Life's B-B-B Boom's been enhanced 
since I've arrived.
Thank the lord i didn't pass my chance
to visit this "Dynamite Ranch"....

pricot and plums;
are they served in fruit salad;
citrus to me so
~
melon-choly bowl;
filled with collar turnip green;
fruit cocktail salad;
~
urban session dreads;
drenched in hot sauce Red Devil;
 ranch dressing salad?

Karla the kickback kindred kinesthetic witch from Kickapoo County
Ran back to Rustic Ranch when she kicked out Murray the Mountie.
The way she was running, we thought there might be a bounty.
She has a wildly weird wonderful reputation here in Kickapoo County....

Back at the ranch
The 'new normal' 
is a case
of Bud 
in the basement fridge
Meanwhile
A/C grinding away
TV flickering
Clumps of munchies
stuck to the upholstery
Kids glued to devices
whirring away --
Hey, Where'd Hope go?
Conversation-enders
abound...

forgot to ask for honey 
what's a chicken nugget to do?
maybe marshmallow creme
A-1 or ranch dressing
caramel or chocolate drizzle
leftover guacamole
cheese queso beats plain ketchup
just off the top of my head
on the tip of my tongue
