Forgotten Old Man

As he sat back watched

He thought of ole times

The memories of rodeo

Ran thru his mind

He thought of the bulls

He'd rode the first time

The cheers from the stands

For the eight second ride

But the people grew restless

As the young man grew old

Their love for him faded

Like the withering rose

And the burbon has taken

The place of his fans

Their forgetting his greatness

Was not in his plans

Now he sits in the bleechers

A forgotten ole man

Lasso and bridle won't

Fit in his hands

His old stetson hat sits

There by his side

And he dreams of

The stallions he'll never ride

He restlessly steps down

He's headed for home

Dusty and broken

Tired and alone

A drunken ole cowboy

Forgotten they say

Where all cowboys go

At the end of their day....

A nice lead in, the middle held it's charm, and the ending finished up well. Nicely written! If you have a collection of these - go publish! :) ~ WC
