You don’t have to wear a cowboy hat and pointed leather boots to shed a tear at these cowboy poems. All you need to do is relax, turn your spirit free, and enjoy the ride.
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!
