Two Weeks Las Vegas

A tribute to our big rodeo family.


Poem Artwork

Every year in early December
as long as I can remember
a lot of folks pack up and go
to a place where there ain’t no snow.

We load up our stuff and when time comes to leave,
I pull a long face as I worry with grief
for me to spend weeks in the neighboring state
I ought to stay home - I’ve got cookies to bake.

So off we go southbound on I-fifteen
truckin’ this ol’ rig easy, no stop in between.
Just a six hour drive, ain’t that bad at all
and once I am here I reckon we’ll have a ball.

For ten days we turn this town known as Sin City
into a huge sea of Resitols, a sight that’s so pretty.
I know rodeo folks is a breed of it’s own
but the friendships are deeper as I’ve ever known.

I live in the "other" Las Vegas... Las Vegas, New Mexico. My town is a big rodeo town. My neighbors across street rope an iron steer in their backyard for practice. They're teaching my young sons to barrel race. Rodeo is the essence of life.

Your poem is a great tribute to the anticipation of a great event filled with good friends.

I love rodeo, but cringe everytime an animal or rider falls. Guess the main reason is all those Resistols and tight. Fitting. Jeans. Whoo-hoooooooooooooooo! Thank you for taking me to the party, Rebecca, well done. :)

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

Sounds like you had a wondeful time and though I am not a "cowboy" I have always dreamed of someday attending our own Calgary Stampede which is of course on the other end of the country from me. Anyway hope to hear from you soon...
