A Cowboy in Time

Cowboys were mostly young men who needed some quick doe
herding cattle caring for horses and repairing fences as they go

A Cowpokes always ready to work the cattle drive
helped establish frontier towns when they finally arrive

their Iconic lifestyles always glorified in Books
left out lonely grueling work, or the life it took

Cowboys work was not for the faint of heart
what they did with a horse and lasso was a work of art

cowboys were as diverse as they could be
from Western fronts, Mexico, and places across the sea

the ever-shifting frontier from the Western expansion
Most ranchers wives would build a small ranch mansion

whether rounding up livestock or just Branding hides
Cowpunching, not the ordinary man’s job, they’ll confide

the Cowboys way of life was once popularized
by John Wayne, Gene Autry, and the lone ranger in disguise

large hats, wide brim’s, boots, and definitely chaps
to protect their legs from snakes, and many cactus needle plants

15 hours a day, on seven days a week
No time for a family to search out and seek

A paragraph in the history books for young eyes to read today
Could never fully hold the life of the cowpoke, buckaroo, or just plain Cowboy way
