Belle, The Strawberry Filly (a response)

She was the prettiest strawberry roan
That filly we called La Belle
But all of us wranglers knew
She was the highway to hell.

She'd shake that red mane
Eat sugar outa your hand
But she was a wild thing
She wouldn't wear any man's brand.

See, Belle was a maverick
A wild horse you know
She was born to be free
She had wild oats to sow.

So cowboy you'd better be careful
If you're fond of keeping your hide
And don't ever think you'll get lucky
Or that on La Belle you will ride.

Oh my! This is fabulous, Roger!!! I did notice one name missing from your
reviewers, though... Hey, you also look pretty good for an old man! As to La Belle,
more power to her - let her run wild and drive the guys wild - I'd hate to see
her spirit broken!!!

This is wonderful, Roger, a great poem and two very handsome cowboys! Now I can see what the real Roger looks like and I think you look more handsome as yourself. The grey beard is very distinguished. What a cutie that Grandson is!
