Baths outside —
It's a country thing...
After a hard day’s work
of rounding cattle, shovelling steamy ****
hoeing weeds, woe, fixing fences fast fit
and grounding the grass, you’ll mantle it;
the horses and red-hot stamp them with bit...
You may break for brunch,
coffee (necessity!) and a bite to eat,
But then it’s back on your feet.
For more jobs to greet...
When the singe-worthy sun starts setting,
slipping behind the slopes, staged in the set background,
as on 'McLeod's Daughters' and ‘Yellowstone’ found—
You throw off your clothes and get right in, ohhh sounds (insert)
to the outside bath,
And soak off the grime from your bones, worn out.
Sip an icy-cold beer or shot a wild whiskey, with relieving cheer!
"ahhhhhhhhhhhh!"
