When Cowgirls Git Over Their Blues

    Elizabeth Taylor, set of "Giant" by Frank Worth

Life’s a rodeo
life’s a desert
life’s a sand burr
under yer saddle
life’s a hot stinkin’ sun
burnin’ the back a yer stiff, red neck
life’s a hot, sweaty sonofabitch
full’a bullshit n’ Copenhagen.

Imma rope you up
real good 
cowboy.
And I ain’t talkin’ no
eight seconds.


55 for all the Toads in the Imaginary Garden and all the Magpies at The Mag.

  1. Ha! You sound real down home, Mary. Folks round here might 'preesheeyate this, if they wasn't all drunk as a waltzin pissant on Pearl beer. ;_)

  3. That second stanza was a hard, delicious pivot, much like a bucking bull! I don't think any cowboy will have a problem with your intentions. Not at all. ;)

    1. Thanks Bizza! Of course that second stanza could be read as taking control of life... just a possibility...

    Let's hope the cowboy rises to the occasion!
    Hey I just loved this and I see it satisfies another interesting prompt at Toads and 55.

  8. Cowboy/cowgirl blues only go so far. Their profession implies fun also!
    Nice writing, Mary. I loved the segue into the last five lines, no hesitation at all.
