Man of Men: By Terry Thomas
Once there was this cowboy
A man who knew no fear
He could fight and shoot
And wrestle down any type of steer
Well respected through out the land
For this tough Hombre, was a man’s man
In his bed roll by the fire light, he was tightly bound
He rolled onto his back, and then he heard that sound
This man who knew no fear, was scared half to death
Like a frighten little child, he slowly began to wept
He eased his way out of that bed roll, one inch at a time
It seemed to take forever, but he was doing just fine
As his feet cleared the bed roll, he jumped to a stance
Grabbed his rifle and knife, as backwards his feet danced
This cowboy, man of men, fear never entered his head
Until that night, when a rattle snake crawled into his bed
