First Day of Fall Roundup!
(After six months of hiding cows in the forest,
now I have to go find them!)
As I stepped down from the saddle
to unlatch the slip wire gate,
my dog got so excited,
she heeled me... by mistake.
Fifty bawling cows and calves,
all looking for a way,
to skin down off this mountain,
'cause it snowed a bit today.
I pull the gate wide open,
they blow by me on the run...
three hundred and fifty left to find,
fall round-up has begun.
