Poem Of The Week: February 6, 2013
Ridin' a Star
When asked by folks who didn’t know
“Why not just hook him to a plow?”
Our answer was always concise
“You’ve never seen Star work a cow!”
A more singly focused ol’ horse
I have never before seen
And his distain for the bovine
Was focused and utterly obscene
Once at work there was no cow pony
That could ever compare
He moved with lightning quickness
The truth, he didn’t even need you there
You were really just along for the ride
A witness to the embarrassment of a cow
Memories of some great rides
Flood my memory even now
He was never a world champion
And his name is not in a hall of fame
But his contribution to this cowboy
Will be forever remembered just the same
There has never been a horse
That I have ridden so far
That could even come close
To the chance of ridin’ a Star
