On the Range

Pasty beans.
Gritty coffee.
Dust storms.
Coyote howls.
River crossings.
Finding strays.
Thankless labor.
I think not.
Jesus herds.
So ought we.

Cowpokin’ Fun

Ropin’ doggies.
Spittin’ tobaccer.

Scratchin’ bites.
Eatin’ dust.

Meanin’ of life
Is so robust.

Smellin’ odors:
Sweat, leather, manure.

Seepin’ through ‘stache
Stench is pure.

Punchin’ cattle,
Fun fer sure.
