Mike's Meadow Muffins           May 17th, 2010

The First One

I nodded my head, the gate swung wide,
the rest was just a blur...
The whistle blew, I made the ride,
just how I still aint sure.

A seventy two point score,
I know it might sound a little silly,
but I won my first buckle,
on a white faced bull named Willy.

First bull I'd ever tried,
first Kamloops High School Rodeo.
It's hard to believe it all began,
forty years ago.

PS Bob Gottfriedson and Reg Depper judged that first high school rodeo and Mike Hayward won the bareback riding Victor Mack won the All Around . Be darned if I can remember much else.
