this for Larry, written by an old acquaitance

skanky behavior is not, ordinarily, the cowboy way, but it happens




The Cowboy Way

 

There in the bar, as he's leaving

she sees him put on

his cowboy hat, an old, mashed-down, straw hat. 

 

She watches him, though he never notices her, 

until, in his rear-view mirror 

he sees someone flashing their brights. 

 

Being a cowboy, and being the cowboy way, 

he pulls over, stops. 

What's the trouble little lady? 

 

Fifteen mintues later they're at the Rest Haven Motel

and they ain't restin'.

A cowboy never says no to a lady.

 

 

— Hanque O
