Straw Hats and Cowboys
Crumpled old straw cowboy hat
A strip of rawhide for a band
It’s shape no longer matters
Twisted and well bent by hand
Sweat stained brim on the inside
Holes tattered here and there
Knocked about and stepped on
So many stories it could share
Could have bought a new one
You know time and time again
Maybe even a brand new Stetson
But it just wouldn’t be the same
He likes the way it fits just right
Like some sweet old lovers hug
How it covers up his bald spot
A lot better then a fancy rug
Now he dusts it off and puts it on
Always knows exactly where its at
On the spike beside the cabin door
His good old ragged cowboy hat
Well done,
Michael
Happy New Year!

Love Tinka

"Straw Hats and Cowboys"
Very well written Felix, I enjoyed it.
Even had a tune in my brain, could actually hear his voice.
As a matter of fact I became the character, funny but true!
Nothing like the old familiar...like a good ole' fashioned love song.
Cheers and cowboy hats,
