Be careful of what?????????????

There’s a little place I like to stop
to stretch my legs and do other things,
like lettin' my worries drop.
Its door slants off to the right
And the rest of it
Kinda’ leans to the left;
but after hours in the saddle,
it’s sure a welcome sight.
There’s a hitchin’ post just outside
for me to park my horse.
I enter in and sit a spell
and contemplate many things.
Now, cowboys learn the hard way;
it’s just the way things are
and many horse has ran off
once your pants are past your knees.
So tie the reins securely,
don’t be in too much of a hurry
'cuz leavin’ before you’re finished
can be such an awful thing.
Another thing to consider
before sittin' on the throne,
take a stick and poke around
to be sure you’re in there alone.
‘Cuz squirrels up here have got a lot of guts
and in their simple little minds
(well to put it bluntly),
nuts are simply nuts!

Thank you MsT..

Thank you,

Ladylid...

As the tumbleweeds drift
across the desert sand
And the golden sun
Is sinkin’ on a man,
Lonesome dusty trails
and cool water pools
he does recall.
In his mind, he hears
country songs of bygone days.
Times that made him glad
and days that made him sad;
Horses that were good
and women that were bad.
Across the canyons of his mind,
He traces the tracks
he’s left behind
where shadows of the past
touch his very soul.
Memories lost and found
sketched in lines
on his weathered face.
Where the old way of life
took root and grew,
he walks those old trails
refectin’ on better times.
He’s just an ol’ cowboy
that has ridden many a broken mile;
But through it all,
He gives tribute
to his way of life
that the Lord has graced
leaving a gleam in his eyes -
provin’ he’s found
some joy and peace
in his western way of life.

Now if that aint "redneck" nothin' is...

A married Irishman went into the confessional and said to his priest, 'I almost had an affair with another woman..'

The priest said, 'What do you mean, almost?'

The Irishman said, 'Well, we got undressed and rubbed together, but then I stopped.'

The priest said, 'Rubbing together is the same as putting it in. You're not to see that woman again. For your penance, say five Hail Mary's and put $50 in the poor box.'

The Irishman left the confessional, said his prayers, and then walked over to the poor box.

He paused for a moment rub the money on the box and then started to leave.

The priest, who was watching, quickly ran over to him saying, 'I saw that. You didn't put any money in the poor box!'

The Irishman replied, 'Yeah, but I rubbed the $50 on the box, and according to you, that's the same as putting it in!'

As an AMERICAN, I want you to know WE the American public thank you and God for what you do!!

Blessed be the one who learns something new from "The Book" and has read it a thousdand times.

I do believe shes talkin' about the one "Under This Old Hat" (Chris Ledoux song)

Lady Wench I do believe that is the best compliment I could get.
Thank you hun...

When the final rays of light
slip behind the moutains
and the land's alive with
the distant lonesome coyote howls
and cattle lowin',
the cowboy sits awhile
by the campfire
cookin’ his beans.
The smell of burning mesquite,
coffee, an biscuits
fill the air
and the stars
are the only light for miles.
There's nothin’ more
that can compare.
The morning brings another day
with saddle sores
and blazin’ sun,
the cowboy rides the open range
from dawn till dusk
when work is done.
A man from the West
living by his wits,
wrestlin’ steers,
and mendin' fence
for nothin’ more than
pure accomplishment and short pay.
Working in the desert winds
and the dust has worn him pretty thin.
He continues to do it
With a grin.
His eyes are growing dimmer.
The pleasures left are fewer.
Like faded jeans and worn boots,
his life's become
a paler shade of blue.
But, through it all,
he gives the Lord praise;
ever thankful
for his cowboy ways.

Wasn't tryin' to but what the H*LL. thanks for the compliment Mzzzzzzzz.
