Madonna

Madonna
Child held closely to her breast
love comes softly with each breath
living innocence.

Cowgirl up
jeans, jacket, paddock boots
carrying concealed cold blue steel
boot knife found it's place.
ready to compete,
lays her money down.

 

No fear

six young cowboys, one lone lady
four thousand cash,
three day rain
no ribbons, outlaw run.

Fly Crowe fly
jumping trees,
straight up heaven
straight down red mud slide.
Madonna takes 
the money every time.

sell you a Walking
horse boys that will turn on a dime.
no,no not this one, he's all mine.

Modonna's smile.
drinks all round
she's buying 

and selling.


Jukebox playing Honky Tonk Angel
doesn't drink

so adroit don't you think?

in this a man's world.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Author notes

Rheea about the quote “ You can take the girl out of the honky tonk, but you can't take the
honky tonk out of the girl.” By Bobby Ray from Sweet Alabama



I have played the honkytonks small diners with music and soft drinks to add your brown bag. To sell horses after a race like this.Outlaw riding in a state park off trail betting and out running the law lol real dare devils we were. Sometimes live band sometimes not.The South has it all. Myrtle Beach I use to dance to Alabama at the Bowery and the Split Rail in Winston Salem when I was so very young and they were just another good country band. At the split rail they gave out free draft in small paper cups to get pretty girls to come in.. I was sixteen and went in under the radar my first few times. Much easier to do back then. Sweet memories.

    My dad said he left the country to move to the city to work hard to have enough money to retire to the country!

    Sadly a hard one for me to understand but it has great power and makes the reader think. The link to the "honkytonk" quote is apt and potent.

      This use to be a part of my life. It is odd how we are all made up so differently yet so alike. Horses were my world the start and finish of it.
