[hometext] => inspired by Ken, well I tried lol.
[bodytext] => Always wanted to live on a ranch,
then one day got my chance,
met a cowboy, made me his wife,
at last I got my cow girl life,
I castrated bulls, roped steers,
sat round the camp fire drinking beers,
I gave that life my heart and soul,
I even ate cold beans, out an old tin bowl,
one day I even broke a toe,
was thrown by a bull at the rodeo,
we went riding the range, my cowboy and me,
some how ended up, in injun territory,
the chief and my cowboy had a pow wow,
the chief pointed at me said I want that gal,
my cowboy was scared, gazed at the floor,
thats how I became an indian squaw,
That old chief, declared his love for me,
kept me zipped up in his old tepee,
one day I spotted a passing wagon train,
I escaped and joined, on the trail again,
Then I opened my eyes,it was a day dream,
I was laying by the pool eating ice cream,
I wasn't a cow girl after all,
but dont you think, my day dreams cool..

Hi Lilly,
That was quite surprising and maybe even a little bit disappointing as you turn out not being a cowgirl at all :-)
As for a Dutchie like I happen to be the words "life on a ranch" just make a vague kind of picture from old Country-movies but you describe it quite well. Castrating bulls is something very far away for someone living in Amsterdam. :-)
A beauty, this one, and enjoy your iceream.

lilly .. this was so much fun to read. I, too, am glad Ken
inspired it. It has a very smooth rhythm and rhyme to it.
the second stanza is rather scary to me though...
LOL
Great write, lilly!!

Shame on that cowboy for letting slip on by lilly-
..though I see the silver lining.. in that, you no longer had to castrate bulls.. lol - indeed~

Cowboy Ken does have a pen
Who's the cowgirl in the glen?
