Comment from Margaret Snowdon
She said it ain't the size of the buckle that makes a man a man.
From Maine to California and all around this land.
Are the words I'm saying too hard to understand?
She said it ain't the size of the buckle. It's the size of the man.
I enjoyed this - something a little different that drew me in - the words, and both rhythm and rhyme flowing smoothly throughout - well penned, my friend.

Comment from Dean Kuch
I guess he couldn't have a life on the rodeo circuit and the love of his woman both at the same time, so he made a choice. Was it the right choice? Romantics would shout an emphatic, YES!", at the top of their lungs...but I wonder.
A great tale of the rodeo and one man's journey within it. When you mess with the bull, you usually get the horns, right?
Good rhyming and an even tempo help carry this through to the climactic ending.
Well done, bmwhsd...~Dean ;}

Comment from Pancho Kid
Yeah, I wouldn't get on one either....these guys are crazy, and according to your lyrics, very likely to be lonely too. You evoke the life-style very well, in an authentic way, and likewise the recorded dialogue is convincing.
I would rework the last line in the penultimate stanza, so it scans/reads better....'watched as her man died'....? I liked your poem/story.

Comment from Shirley E Kennedy
The aura and emotion of a rodeo was captured so well.
I felt like I spectator watching the action.
The way you have woven the love story into the mix is clever and interesting.
It is sad but true that so many realise too late that the sentiments in the last line are true.
No sixes- sorry, but here's a virtual.******

Actually I was thinking more of Christ LeDeaux. There was an Entertainer and a rodeo cowboy, bareback horses.
Comment from Chris Tee
This is an absolutely wonderful song and the words just flowed of the tongue like water off the ducks back Well done indeed with this excellent work we have here.

A love with no beginning can never have no end. I thought that was an arresting line. Albequerque should be Albuquerque. I hope he learned a lesson...

Comment from bob cullen
It's not that much safer if you sing like me.
Incidentally I share the same back problem.
Loved the poem. Sorry the cowboy died.
For the most part the rhyme was solid, the story was good, but sad and the rhythm was fantastic. It would make a great song

Hi Brett,
These are really well written song lyrics about the rodeo. You did a great job in writing them and the rhyming is really nice also. You'd never catch me riding bulls either so I must have a big yellow stipe down the middle of my back too.
