| I'm a guy BTW. Always feel like I need to say that. Don't know why. I wrote this poem a couple years ago. I had an old rope horse that I had retired. I got him up for my daughter when she was 5 to start her rodeo career on.
It goes like this:
He looked at the tack with an inquisitive eye
Kinda stood back today, must have been shy
Two long years he'd been kicked out on grass
After today there'd be no more free pass
The pad, the bit, they'd lost their familiar smell
Would he remember the routine, only time would tell
Front girth, then back all screwed down tight
Took that old chain bit like he'd done all his life
Left foot in the stirrup, leg up an over, then hunt for the right
Never a step, he wasn't even tight
Retirement is over, there is a new job to do
A little red headed girl has plans for you
Years from now, when the buckles she's won are tarnished and green
They'll still shine bright in an old mans dreams |

| Thank you, it may come to that. I'm out doing the evening chores. I'll play with it, when I go in.
Thanks for the kind words. I've dabbled with words for a long time. |

It should, maybe you have to resize the pictures. |
