Dusty La Rue, Nevada cowboy poet,
animates his poem, "Stomping a Cow Pie Don't Necessarily
Make You a Cowboy", for his friends D.J.O"Malley, Will
Rogers, Charlie Russell, Johnny MacBrown, and Tall Texas Woman.
Stomping a Cow Pie Don't Necessarily
Make You a Cowboy
When I sleep on my belly
I can't see the stars.
When I sleep on my back
I see Jupiter and Mars.
Out here on the prairie
The stars ain't where it's at.
The thing that's important
Is to wear the right hat.
A two dollar horse and a ten dollar
saddle.
Used to, a cowboy needed something to straddle.
Now a days a duel-wheeled pick-up and a goose neck trailer
Completes our cowboy when you add the CD player.
Full quill ostrich boots and designer
jeans,
Such are the accessories of a cow man of means.
These fellows know that tradition do matter,
But don't expect them around when the cow pie splatters.
