Cowboy Poetry and Western Verse
Any Way You Can
Mike Berger
It was the 50th anniversary of the
county rodeo. They were having a
nostalgia day. Cowboys and clowns
dressed in clothes from the 1950s
road in and waved to the crowd. The
announcer was brought in by a
1955 pickup. They played 50s cow-
boy music on the loudspeakers.
The highlight of the day was the
appearance of Old Tex. The ancient
old cowboy once was king of the hill
on the rodeo circuit. They claimed he
had never been thrown. He was going
to ride a wild mustang. People flocked
to see the old cowboy eat dirt.
Bets flew wildly; thousands of dollars
were on the board. Just how long would
that ancient old cowboy last? Nobody
but me said he would go the distance.
I had the advantage; I saw Old Tex in
the hardware store. He was buying a
dozen bottles of Gorilla Glue
