For Texas and its poets.

They say the stars shine bright in Texas
well... perhaps that's so
and they say
that Texas
'is gigantic....'
but...I just don't know.

And cowboys ride like comets...up.... and high,
and saddles wearing denim jeans in texas
gallop by.
(could that be a lie?)
I've seen John wayne
ride the plain
with herds of cattle near
and covered waggons
draggin'
treasures
pleasure
us all here.
Spurs and guns,
stampede runs,
buffallo and hide,
spittin' tar
hard and far
on some round up ride.
Texas tough...
( just movie stuff???)
where good guys meet at noon?
and bad guys demise to meet their doom.
Texas seems to gleam away all gloom.
Open fires in the night
guitar strumming for delight
haystack honey in check dress
making sugar there I guess.
I never really knew Texas was that great
but
my mind
I find
has seen the light of late,
and now
I dare to state
That
Texas is this aussies mate'!!!
(g'day mate)
Texas,
you are beautiful
with the words you write,
Texas,
you are bold and wild and sparkle proud and bright.
And Texas ,
I could never swap my land of kangaroos
but
if I had a second choice of lands...
well,
it's TEXAS...I would choose.

I heard a joke today about Cowboys, from a Cowboy, goes like this... Why do Cowboys brand their name on the back of their belts?
Answer: So the Trucker will know the name of the guy he is having sex with.
