Ron Wilson’s Cowboy Poetry
Ron will write a special cowboy poem just for your group or event at the Lazy T Ranch.
Howdy folks, and welcome to our place on the internet.
It tells of how I got the title "Poet Lariat".
To me, this technology is awfully new-fangled,
And I'll admit that cowboy grammar sometimes just gets mangled.
But we love our cowboy poems - that part is surely true,
And we'd be glad to come and say a set of poems for you.
When it comes to fun, a cowboy never fails,
So welcome to our website, and we wish you "Happy Trails!"
