At my first rodeo
I saw a cowboy pass away
A horse was put down

Wow dori! And here I thought my anti-clown haikus were harsh.

I know I failed math in school, but if I'm not mistaken:
5 + 7 + 5 = 17
5 + 7 + 5 = 17
Writing Haikus
too much math
stifles creativity
and expression
so there
stick that in your
pipe
and
smoke it

East coast cowboys suck

Roping the calves fast
Besting the other cowboys
all in a days work

Do the prisoners hear it?
Fireworks and applause

Beer and hot concrete
Red, white and blue everywhere
Praying for sunset.
Mom, dad and the kids
Excitement, horses, fireworks
Tired babes ride dad home
Hot dogs and cold beer
Slow sunset brings cool night air
The arena glows.

When the broncos buck
Do the zoo animals laugh
As cowboys eat dirt?
Could monkeys rope steers
And drink as many warm beers?
Let’s find out this year.
What do cowboys think
When they see Folsom’s new streets?
"Where the heck are we?"
Suburban family
Mom eyes strong men on horseback
Dad guesses mileage

War, gas, politics
Evaporate at the gate
Let the fun begin.
Will the kids recall
Your night on the concrete seats
When they are your age?
Since 1960
Forty-eight years in Folsom
Our Rodeo thrives!!
Ranchers and hippies
Soldiers bound for Viet Nam
They sat where you sit.
Rodeo fireworks
Fourth of July in Folsom
Better warn CalFire.
What can our kids learn
From watching men wrestle steers?
Teeth and bulls don’t mix.
Boy eyes pretty girl
Spilled beer dries fast on hot seats
When her date sees him.
