Cowboy Love Advice

Missing image

Listen up here boys
Ya’ll gather ‘round
I got sum ad-vice fer ya
Shore nuff true ‘n sound

When a gal sets her cap
And she’s a’lookin’ yore way
Ya only got two choices
Stand still or walk away

If she’s a well built young filly
Ya might wanna talk or dance
Understand this first son
Yore takin’ quite a chance

Them gals got hidden spurs
Special tricks ‘n piggin’ strings
Hair done up ‘n smellin’ sweet
Purty soon yore buyin’ a ring

Then afore ya know it
They’s kids everwhere
Yore name’s been changed to papa
Yore pullin’ out yore hair

It ain’t all bad though boys
They’s some good times mixed in
Them cowgirls kin do some thangs
Make ya wear a great big grin

Most of ‘em kin cook ‘n sew
Keep ya warm on winter nights
Jess watch whatcha say tho
They shore can put up a fight

I’m tellin’ ya this here story
‘cause some of them gals is bad
They’ll hook up with yore friends
Leave ya broke and plenty mad

That’s when ya realize
That one vow ya’ll done told
‘bout till death do ya part
You was actually settin’ a goal

    This is great.

    Where were you about...ummm....all them years ago. This is a gem of a piece. The dialect is great and you targeted all the men. I love the ending (which needs to be strong);

    That is priceless! Thank you for the entry.

    Round the range advice and humor

    This poem gives a humorous spin on part of the wedding vows (at least it made me chuckle, hope it wasn't too serious). Sounds like this cowboy has been around the range a few times and knows how to spot 'em. Right kindly of him to spread a little advice. Of course, one look at the picture you added, and that advice goes right over the corral fence! Authentic use of dialect here, it really drew me into the setting. Happy trails, pardner!
