What The Cowboy Saw

The old cowboy saddled up and headed into town,
to see what life was like where the clock never did run down.
Glaring light and overpriced beer, and folks who didn’t seem to care,
and others who weren’t exactly all there, made the place seem a Nutter’s fair.

Fast food so bad coyotes would let it be, and start gnaw’n on a tree,
and traffic flowing like a raging river, full of fools as their victims flee.
Noise enough to shatter stone and something called music that soured the ear,
it left one deef and a bit confused, and just this side of mindless fear.

Women dressing like hookers on parade, suing for looking at the goods,
men who’d got’n touch with their feminine side, should’ve been wearing hoods!
Youngster in pants falling down, and caps on wrong to spite their faces,
made the old cowboy wonder mighty about the future of all races.

Word were everywhere and most were obscene as they could be,
it made one wonder if common sense and intelligence did flee!
Dog crap on sidewalks and folks in the gutter and nobody care’n,
if this was the good life, thanks for not share’n!

He saddled back up and headed for friendlier places,
where beer was cost less, and the people had familiar faces.
Never again to Gomorra to go, enough is enough and then some you know,
slow down and live, see the world going by, enjoy the short life, say whoa!
