Cowboy Joe

Cowboy Joe My dad Joe, often rode the circuit rodeo He lasso'd horses from the word go Often he'd break them for many a few His lasso event went far, for his name's Joe Many men tried to go faster and win before him They all found out, they were all left out on a limb Now Joe didn't have not one mean evil, evil streak He rode on many long extended trips in his younger peak And he was one of the best of the happy hunting men for game Always brought home lots of food for us, so we could all tame He was one of the best riding lasso of mem who was in Rodeo's Hall of fame I'm so dang proud to have him as my gifted riding cowboy of a father Now ya'll come on over and give us a loud caller For we always got on a full pot of coffee or tea Cause we all learned from our dearest parents How to be and expect to respect strangers with hospitality and have extra edibles like peppermints. 05/05/2015
