What Gets a Cowboy Riled : Cowboy Poetry

written by Poet : oldhoppy26


 

 

He kin walk a blazin' desert

Or ride in a ragin' blizzard—

He kin swim a snaky river—

Take an arrow in the gizzard.

 

He kin win at crooked poker

Or have a shootout at high noon—

He kin dance round the hangman's noose

Or bay like a wolf at the moon.

 

Of all the bad things in the West,

There's one thing what sets off his riles—

It's when he done and rode too long

And gits a bad case of the piles!

 

Oh, there's jest not no thing that's worse

And the curse of all the cowboys,

Than that dang ol' blazin' saddle

And a dern bunch of hemorrhoids!

 

And though the time will come some day

When them riled piles will come up tame—

Fer now they's a pain in the butt

That makes all us ol' cowboys lame.

 

Yep, if I had all my druthers

And still had most my manly wiles—

I'd rather be ridin' pillows

When I come down with them ol' piles!
