    Rodeo Jim

    Rodeo Jim had a thing about him.
    His hat was too big, and his pants were too slim.
    And he rode facing backwards, one hand on the tail,
    While the other would always just helplessly flail.
    His shoes didn’t match, they never were tied
    And when riding he’d always hang off to one side.

    His technique was awful, his style was worse
    And people would laugh, but only at first
    Since no one could beat him of the thousands who tried
    That Rodeo Jim just knew how to ride
    He’d always win, but never heard the cheers
    Because that big old hat covered up his ears.
    Yet it wasn’t applause that mattered to him
    It was his passion to ride that made Rodeo Jim.

    I seriously hope you are looking into getting a children's book of poetry published! You are very good! ~Sara

    If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.
