COWBOY VISITS THE CAFE

A peek inside the CAFE as seen by a cowboy.

COWBOY VISITS THE CAFE

 

While work`n down at the sale barn

Shovel`n you know what

I started think`n bout the gal in red 

Ya see when I was travel`n

Just to see the sights

I happened on to this writers cafe

`Twas sure `nuff a delight

 

Pretty girls all over the place

`Specially that one in the red dress

She was sitt`n with some poet

A kinda girly type

Asked would she like to dance

She said there is no band

She looked around at the quiet crowd

Then she took my hand

 

I tried real hard to be polite

And sat with the two of them

She giggled a lot not more than him

She winked and moved real close

Reminded me of my old horse

The one I liked the most

Coffee drinkers all but one

The girl in that red dress

 

People were really stare`n now

When we began our dance

A funny two step to be sure

And me with the funny hat

But she was fun and we forgot

Our meeting was just by chance

She gazed into my eyes a lot

And melted into my arms

We forgot them silly people

Who thought they were so hot

 

I looked around and it dawned on me

Other gents liked that red dress too

One in the corner a foppish sort

Attracted the biggest crowd

He must have been their leader 

`Fore he hit the ground

Ya see nobody looks at my best girl

With that undress`n look

`Less he`s sitt`n with his momma

And got one hand on the holy book

Very amusing little write here. I don't find it odd at all that they could go from just met to best girl so quick. My husband was warning guys off me even before we started dating... still does even before I notice anything. Sometimes you just know right off.

Well, well, well... makes me wish I had a red dress, and a man who acted in such a way. Since I don't have either, I'll just read this again. Imaginative, well-written, fun and just clever enough to maintain integrity. Well-done!

very clever

Well, again I had to laugh at the use of southern twang [I now live in the south but am a Yankee] and like how his horse was almost important as getting it on with the girl in red..Laughed out loud at the ending..Good one..lol and God bless..Kathie

[Liza]

the red dress to me represents passion, attention, alarms to stop and stare...it commands to shine in this write

very cool :)

[Emily B]

this is sure somethin'

funny what the right kind of red dress can cause . . .

Great job! I truly liked reading this. It was fun, because I read it out loud with a southern accent.
I agree with another reviewer; I like how you took the website and made it into a real gathering. That was very creative.
This whole poem was very unique, and I enjoyed reading this. It was entertaining and I even laughed at some parts.
Once again, great job! I can't wait to read more.

I absolutely Love this, you have managed to life this keyboard and let it take on a life of it own. Then to go from a chance meeting to his best girl in the space of a dance was only topped by the last two lines. Great piece and very entertaining read.

ha, love the ending. I really enjoyed how you took this object/thing such as a website and transformed it into an actual gathering in a real place and time. Giving it a 3d reality and breathing life into something (the internet) that can lose a lot of human quality. We are when it comes down to it.. all just people trying to make our way in this world. This site offers the ability to connect with people in all walks of life. Well written
