"I imagine," said John,
"that the Eisenhower administration has
decided cattlemen are about the most mysterious
critters on earth. One day they hold a meeting
and vote against government supports or controls
of any kind; they send wires to Washington
telling everybody up there to keep their nose out
of the cattle business. Next day, they holler for
the government to help 'em quick. |

Cowboy poetry's mostly funny but,
it's just to keep from cryin', 'Cause the
cowboy's life's a constant round of wrecks. Every
time a puncher turns around, life blacks him in
the eye, Or bucks him off or bounces all his
checks. |

I've heard it said that people and
their long-time companion dogs share similar
traits and habits. A nervous individual somehow
just happens to have a dog that quivers and yaps.
A lethargic lounge-chair lizard probably will own
a dog that ranges no further than from his food
bowl to the backyard. |

Some misguided individuals are under the
mistaken impression that horses are people. Not
me. I wouldn't insult members of the equine
community like that. Animal lovers, especially
horse enthusiasts, tend to think that four-legged
creatures are more noble than humans. |
