This is the first collection of rhymed humorous, historic, nostalgic and sometimes serious cowboy poetry by an aging baby-boomer that believed Hoppy, Roy, Gene and other cowboy media stars when they told him to drink his milk, respect his elders and live by the cowboy code. It includes an introduction that explains why he turned away, after over thirty years, from writing sterile academic blank verse to the more fulfilling, rewarding and uplifting challenge of cowboy poetry. It also tries to communicate in both prose and poetry just why he and others have found true happiness in a genre that is as old as, yet still as fresh and vibrant as, the Old West itself.
