| WATCH PICTURE.. IT MAY TAKE A WHILE TO LOAD ON DIAL-UP. THIS IS MY SON AND SOME OF HIS CATTLE AND BRANDING THEM. |
| Remember The Cow
Fred Engel A friend of mine once offered a toast, To the two things in life that he loved most. "Women .and horses," he blurted out, And so all could hear, he toasted with, a shout. Now women and horses, yes they are a true love, But I do want to thank the good lord above For makin' a critter that we call a cow, The subject of which, I'd like to speak now. Now cattle have always been a favorite of mine, And have offered a way of life so fine. Meat on the table, and butter and cheese, What would a loaf of bread be without these. belts and shoes and boots for your feet, and a saddle to ride with, a comfortable seat. And how could you brag on how good you can ride Without some cattle around to rope or drive? It just wouldn't be the same or quite such, a thrill To just rope goats by the head or the heel. And how could cowboys and cowgirls do what they do If there wasn't something around that knew how to moo? And have you ever wondered what kind of a change There might have been while out on the range There was just chickens or pigs that we had to herd? Now I know that sounds a little absurd But what kind of difference do you think it'd make If it had been chicken pluckers or sowboys That helped make our country great? Now women and horses is still a good toast. But besides the two things we men love the most, We ought to remember about the cow, Because without her, well, there wouldn't be any cowboys, Would there now? |
