RAW HIDE

A funny rodeo poem, or maybe a cowboy poem


 

As Randy checked the board he read White Lightning was his mount,

the roughest horse in rodeo's corral,

he'd sent more men to hospital than anyone could count,

and most had never rode again, as well.

 

So, Randy's hands were shaking as he dressed that fateful day,

his buttons wouldn't work or anything,

the buckle on his belt refused to lock - but what the hey...

the time had come to get into the ring.

 

He sat there on White Lightning and could sense his evil mood,

the stallion looked around as if to say:

"Well, hello there, you would-be-cowboy-bronco-bustin' dude -

I hope your health insurance is okay!"

 

The gate flew open, out they jumped, the bronc was quite deranged,

poor Randy flew, but managed to hang on,

he landed on the horse's back and felt a little strange,

his western leather cowboy boots had gone!

 

White Lightning turned and twisted, then he headed for the sky,

and Randy looked like landing in the dirt,

but somehow dropped back on the horse, and felt a little shy,

he'd lost his western spangled cowboy shirt!

 

His naked chest was heaving and his plight was rather bad,

the dusty sweat was stinging like a knife,

but  Randy gripped and stayed aboard - the stallion went mad,

the longest seven seconds of his life!

 

The horse went crazy, leapt up fifteen feet into the air

and Randy flew an acrobatic dance,

but when he came back down again, White Lightning's back was there,

the trouble was - he'd lost his cowboy pants!

 

A naked bucking bronco rider - what a tale to tell,

the crowd was hushed, this was a special thing,

the Judge was so enthralled he plumb forgot to ring the bell,

so Randy and the horse stayed in the ring.

 

White Lightning felt the naked skin, and skidded to a halt,

he'd never known such tenderness and heat,

it took him back to childhood days when he was just a colt,

he bowed his head - this cowboy had him beat.

 

The crowd erupted, no-one ever tamed this beast before,

and there he was - a docile pussy cat,

so Randy was the Champion - a star for ever more,

The cowboy who wore only spurs and hat!
