I aint no ***** I aint no tinker; like a tinker would think. Im just an old cow poke with no leather to sink my teeth. Been riding for days aint came across the first drop to drink. Sure is nice of you mam to let me in by the smell of my stink. You see; I lost my cattle about a few miles back. We got seperated by a sand storm. Boy this coffee is about as thick a pinewood sap. Mam, please dont take offense; I sure do appreciate the gesture. I suppose a cool glass a water might do the trick. Now as I was saying, I was on my way up from Wyoming to drive a herd for a bargain. Well I guess I would say I got started early this morning. I got me a ranch out in Laramie. Well actually a buddy of mine does. We started up and then it began storming. I haven’t seen him since. Mam could you do me a favor if he does. If he shows up; could you tell him I have gone to gather up them horses. Could you ask if he could stick around, what matters is that we’re safe and that’s important. We can regroup in a couple of hours. Head on back on up the trek, make up for lost time and try to save our appointment. If that ain’t no burden to you misses? -RSC

🤠Up from Laramie 🐄🐄
I'd feel so at home in Wyoming; Married to my television Cigarettes for breakfast I'm at peace with my shaking Clipping branches of my tree To feed my precious pets I never played the game Rolling dice around my teeth But I keep my eyes on the window Let the creeping wind in my belly Be all that makes sense Thrown like a doll in the corner Unblinking for the longest time Measured by the shift and click Twisted legs coiled like cables Sealing Matthew into his box America's fables never spoken Her reputation and misadventures undeserved Fit like latex on an amateur surgeon My cardboard house unfolded Everything in a tanned leather briefcase I just forgot the combination 827 - 125 and the button slides Why can't I leave my things in a crate And ship myself off to a Grecian island? I could be sung to sleep Just as in my room But now, my dear Johnny, Oldboy, It's gloaming on Elysium My chest is still beaten upon I file the cold edges round Empty another carton and call it a day
