The Cowboy Way


Cowboys were primarily young men who needed some quick doe

Herding cattle caring for horses, and repairing fences as they go

A Cowpokes is 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

Cowboy’s 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 is not the ordinary man’s job. They will confide.

Many Cowboy lifestyles by historians popularized.

We’re John Wayne, Gene Autry, and the lone ranger in disguise

Large hats, wide brims, boots, and chaps

to protect their legs from snakes, and many cacti needle plants

Fifteen hours a day, 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 plain Cowboy way
