Gone To Texas
I put my saddle in the barn,
turned my horses out to graze,
I'm on a jet to Texas,
I'll be gone about three days.
I hate to leave right now,
fall riding has just begun,
but I am headed south to gather up,
an award that I have won.
A marble statue of Will Rogers,
has my name written clear,
Just below the title,
Cowboy Poet of the Year!
My sincere thanks to everyone who has read my poetry and all of those who have lent their
support and encouragement. Special thanks to my darling wife Linda, who has endured 33 years
of marriage to me, my cows, horses, dogs, rodeo, art and poetry. Once I asked her why she
put up with me and and the lifestyle I put her through? Her only reply was, "at least it aint
been boring".
