Cowboy Poetry and Western Verse
If There Ever Was A Pair
By Tom Sheehan
Even though the cowboy’s free,
his horse will chart his destiny,
for if there ever was a pair,
it’s the cowboy on his mare,
Or a stallion black as Hell
whose lineage he cannot tell,
but whose heart was dealt to him
when he was born at darkened rim.
Man and horse, they say is true,
coupled in the prairie view,
born to be a one-way paddle
as they share a single saddle.
Mark the man who gives his horse
the greater share of water‘s course,
and mark that horse when man’s aground
and needs four legs to get around.
Know such pairing gave its best
when they opened all the West,
for their legends oft inspire
writer’s vision or camper’s fire.
