A Cowboy Kiss Can't Miss
Valentine's Day

My gal and I
Personify
Togetherness in life
We care, we jest
We share the best
And — sure — a touch of strife
It’s never wise
To compromise
The truths we’ve come to know
But, we learned this
We’d better kiss
And let the quarrel go
To realize
Those flashing eyes
Are planning an attack
My plan is this
I’ll try a kiss
And hope she’ll kiss me back
We’ve thought it through
We know it’s true
Our differences are there
Should we debate?
Or osculate?
When angry tempers flare
It seems to me
Undoubtedly
We’re kissing all the time
It helps prevent
An argument
So what . . . is that a crime?
Cowboys are rough
And tough enough
We take hard times in stride
For my morale
I kiss my gal
Until she’s pacified
When we’re entwined
Our lips we find
Keep one another quiet
For when we’re mute
We can’t dispute
It works — you ought to try it !

From the bar he called at seven
"I’ll be home about eleven"
Then he cussed her when she dared to ask him why
"Listen, girlie, quit yer bitchin’
Get yer fanny in the kitchin’
I’ll have beef and grits and gravy……..and a pie!"Well, the meal fulfilled his wishes
And while she was scrubbin’ dishes
He was yawnin’ and was givin’ her the eye
"Jest ferget to clean the oven
This here cowboy needs some lovin’
Hurry up, get over here and don’t act shy."She said, "That aint likely, Honey
Here’s a secret……..really funny
‘Bout your dinner and, especially, the pie
There was somethin’ special in it
And in just about a minute
You’ll be sleepin’ in that Bunkhouse-in-the-Sky !!"© 2000 Omar West
