Category : Humor

Pages : 184
Book Description
The Editors At Gibbs Smith, who have seen as many cowboy poems as a cowboy sees sunsets--Compiled this rousing edition from more than 1, 200 submissions. Each poem leads you down the bridle trail, all quiet and calm as can be. But when you reach the last line, it wakes you up and gets you hootin' an' hollerin' for more so hitch yourself up to the craze that's been building for more than a decade. Bronc Rides I know some boys can ride those broncs, Allowin' no chance to throw 'em. To tell about the tough ones I've rode Would take half as long as this poem. When I'm atop a buckin' horse I cannot permit defeat, So I stretch the reins, and choke the horn, And spank 'em--with my seat. Now horses must learn discipline, And buckin' sure is wrong. But I must be softhearted, 'Cuz I never spank 'em long.

Book Description
The bestselling novel from America’s premier cowboy poet. Cowboys Lick and Cody are on a quest to qualify for the rodeo national finals—and their widely entertaining, often hilarious adventure includes a smattering of sex, violence, intrigue, and the occasional philosophical rumination. These modern-day cowpokes—two chivalrous knights of the rope and range with a hankering for bucking broncos and for the female of the two-legged species—find much more than they bargained for in Oklahoma City. Against the colorful, flamboyant backdrop of the hard-ridin’, hard-playin’ rodeo circuit, they encounter a city woman named Lilac, with whom Cody falls in love; a bull named Kamikaze; and two corrupt Texas billionaires who bet against Lick. In the vein of a latter-day Will Rogers, Baxter Black combines a colorful yarn with occasional bits of his unique cowboy philosophy and poetry. “It could make a dead man sit up and laugh”—The Washington Post Book World
