SADDLE TREE

 

SADDLE TREE

 

Just a simple cowboy

Plain to see

I got myself some furniture

A brand new saddle tree

 

No good at rope`n

Not much good with Brahma`s

They dirty where you sit

Have to stick to horses

Well  stick`n is the trick

 

 The best  will get a saddle

If not I`ll  just get sawdust

When I  hit the ground

The saddle smells the best

And it gives me another goround

 

Then they picked me  that ole apaloosa

A sunfish`n sun of a gun

And I`m  still chase`n that durn saddle

I`m  jist an apaloosa bum

Nice work.

Excellent goround, cowboy :) Enjoyed this. Great voice you used as well :)

With a folktale sort of spin to this, you got your message across. Leslie was right: you definitely have an originality to your writing.

[Leslie Philibert]

Original style in your own voice,like the clever spelling.Well done.

Lifted my mood, great write. You seem to add something to your writing that makes it yours, it is wonderful. Keep writing.

[Greg the Bard]

I wonder when I read a write just who has come to write the read. You change a lot during your works but never the guy I really like the most. This is a great write. It captures a whim of a different life that just maybe still going on in America today. Thanks.

Every time I read your work I come away with uplifted. You amuse, as well as expressing a life lived with Verve. I always try and stop by when I'm at the WC to post my writes, because I always am given the gift of a warm smile! Bless you John ~ Jude
