"Isn’t this cowboy stuff just nostalgia,

From some bygone day?

When stockmen move their cattle,

Don’t they use quads today?"

The mention of them darn machines,

Kind of stung my cowboy pride,

So I threw out an invitation,

For him to come out for a ride.

So I spent a pleasant day a riding,

With this reporter from the “Post”,

And for an urban greenhorn,

He was a better hand than most.

He made up with pluck and try,

For the things he did not know.

And I think he saw a trail or two,

Where a quad just would not go!
