COWBOY WISDOM
There were three poets that moved out west.
To become Cowboys and be the best.
Balladeer was the first to say,
Never kick a cow chip on a hot day.
Then Long John learned while he was alone,
Not to squat with your own spurs on.
Toerag is third, now, he is in the know.
Never slap a cowpoke that’s chewing tobacco.
Some cowboys learn by reading signs,
Others learn by watching from behind.
But these three gained their good sense-
Each one in turn, pee-ed on the electric fence.

Well this cowboy couldn't resist the title and now because of the lessons of these other imposters I will be wary of all electric fences.  Btw....I have learned that a cactus in "NOT" the same as a leaf when you have no paper on the trail.  Walked BESIDE my horse for a week.ROFLMBO at you.  wonderful penning

Thanks everyone. If I can bring just one smile to your face with all the sadness we all have to endure, well, I have done my part. Glad you enjoyed it. Bye, Bye- for now.
