Buffalo Prairie, Illinois
About Kyle Anders
Annie
her bridles on
her blankets there
and i'm a workin' on the saddle
she's bit me once
stepped on my toe
i dont think i could get any madder
ah she's a nice one though
that feller said
with a nice big hip
and a baby doll head
she's a steal at that price i got on 'er
so with a mile wide grin
i went ahead and bought her
brought her home
got on her back
she bucked me off
imagine that!
wha'd i do wrong?
i kept asking myself
as that doctor put his stethoscope
back on the shelf
so i went on home
to give it a think
sat in my chair
poured me a drink
look at it this way dad
my young son said
at least you landed on your butt
and not your head© 2004, Kyle Anders

Kyle says of this, his first poem "The story behind my poem is that 90% of it is true. I bought a nice mare for my 9 yr old son and brought her home and started filling her full of 12% sweet feed and she got a little ornery on me--bucked me off as my boy watched the rodeo and lucky enough we were both able to have a good laugh afterwards."
