.The unusual cowboy.

A rhyme…

Ok, I admit it - I have absolutely no idea what possessed me to conceive this rhyme. Perhaps it was simply the absurdity of the thought; Perhaps I just possess a slightly warped imagination; Maybe it’s a blend of the two. Although - now I think about it - I did encounter a guy on a bus once, who told me with complete sincerity that he had a tail. Either way, I’ve always liked to believe in the idea that anything’s possible…

When you hear the word ‘cowboy’ you think chaps and lassos,
the eating of jerky, gunfights and “Yahoos!”,
but Silus Bleach is a lad who makes other kids shudder,
as a knee-jerk response to his pendulous udder.

The slightest surprise and he tends to stampede,
and the consumption of grass is an undying need.
Whilst others kick footballs around in the mud,
he stands on the sidelines chewing the cud.

Abattoirs make him break into a sweat,
and he sleeps out in fields even when cold and wet,
ruminating on a life that would have been fine,
if he hadn’t been born a boy part-bovine.
