Does anyone have a copy of this poem??

A friend of ours has a small boy who would like to recite this poem at their Christmas pageant coming up soon. I know we used to have a copy of it that we clipped out of an old Western Horseman magazine but we can't put our hands on it now.

If anyone has it maybe they could PM me a copy??

Thanks very much.

 

do you know who wrote the poem?
www.cowboypoetry.com has a lot listed,but they are by poet, not title.

 

Baxter Black wrote it, but I can't find it through google, just a link where you can buy the book.

Hope this helps

 

I had to open this one... It's lunch in my neck of the woods....

 

Is this the one you are talking about?

What's Christmas to a Cow

I know you've prob'ly asked yourself,
What's Christmas to a Cow?
You've not! Well maybe, just perchance
I've got you thinkin' now.

When we march out on Christmas morn
like nothin's goin' on,
Has Yuletide struck the night before
and disappeared by dawn?

Were plastic sleeves a'hangin' up
around the calvin' shed?
Did visions of molasses blocks
cavort inside her head?

And did she lake awake at night
tensed up, anticipating
Or, in excitement milk her bed
by accident, while waiting?

Do cows just pretend to be just cows,
devoid of all intrigues
But really lead a secret life
like women's bowling leagues?

Did we just miss the mistletoe?
Did all the clues elude us?
Does she believe in Santa Clause
or just Santa Gertrudis?

 

Thanks very much.

I think that is the one I have been looking for.

Much appreciated.

 

You're welcome.

 

Love it, nothing like good ol cowboy poetry

 

Hard to beat Baxter Black!
