COWBOY VISITS THE CAFE

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    ----- Eagle Cruagh

This poem comes across as romatically old fashioned with fun imagery and it kinda reminded me of an old cowboy movie, full of aw-shucks and sincerity at the local country dance. Nice that the two were alone while in a crowd....that always places a whimsical feel on a scene and most amusing to picture the cowboy keeping a wary eye on the competition and his reaction to it! Totally light-hearted and most enjoyable.

I have my speculations on that red dressed woman, but I will keep them as a mytery as she tends to change her indentity. I just might be mistaken.I will just it was a good piece to ponder I may read it again.
