Past Her Prime Poem by Kim Barney

Past Her Prime

Rating: 5.0


We had an old nag
when I was a kid.
Her belly would sag
and her hooves would skid.
We seldom fell off,
but sometimes we did.

We'd round up the cows
to drive to the field,
then we'd play as knights,
our lances to wield.
The winner would strut;
the loser just kneeled.

When milking time came
we'd drive the cows back,
no more time to play,
no more time to slack.
If we're late, our dad
will give us a whack.

That old nag was clumsy;
the old nag was slow.
Just two miles per hour
was fast as she'd go,
and she wasn't pretty,
but I loved her so!

In the absence of Cowboy Ron, who it seems for a time has been gone, I must do my best to continue the quest to make sure cowboy poems will go on.
