I commute to work on horseback,

Spend my week days moving cattle,

And oft as not on weekends,

I’m still in my old saddle.

Unless I’m telling lies and rhymes,

At a festival or show,

If the hay is stacked and the fire wood cut,

Then riding I will go.

There are other things I could be doing,

There are always chores of course,

But I do my very best thinking,

When I’m sitting on a horse!
