This original cowboy poetry hums with the rhythm and pulse of contemporary and Old West. Cartoon drawings provide illustrations by British Columbia Canadian artist Wendy Liddle.**

When A Cowboy Drinks Espresso

I’ve lived long enough to see it all,

at least I thought it so,

‘Till a rainy day at the ranch last Spring,

when they started servin’ espresso.

The west is changin’, so they say,

a fact I cannot hide.

Cowboys used to stand apart

with tradition, guts & pride.

Now we got men who call themselves ropers

wearin’ tennies and baseball caps.

Serious breeders carryin’ papers

on bushy-tailed, spotless Apps.

Why, I’ve seen boots without manure,

sombreros with no sign of sweat.

And punchers ridin’ 4-wheelers,

about as low as a man kin get.

And espresso bar at the horse ranch?

Why, it purtneer broke my heart.

Let them city folks drink their fill

by the two-bit pony at WalMart.

I reckon he ain’t sold his saddle, boys,

but it’s not that far to go …

when a cowboy forsakes boiled coffee,

and starts sippin’ that there espresso!
