Rodeo
Rodeo is not a sport.
Rodeo is not a game.
Rodeo is an inter-heart fantasy.
Rodeo is the true name.
Bull riding is for the cowboys who dare it all.
But when they're lying in a hospital bed,
They say it was fun after all.
Rodeo is the name.
Saddle bronc and bareback riding are basically the same thing.
Almost nothing to hang on to,
But worth the pain.
Rodeo is the name.
Calf roping and bull dogging come out of the same place.
For they both try to flip the calf,
To win first place.
Rodeo is the name.
Barrel racing is my favorite thing.
Turning the barrel,
Like trying to break free.
Rodeo is the name.
Queening is my thing.
Waving and blowing kisses,
Like a prom queen.
Rodeo is the name.
Rodeo is the name of all these things.
For the Cowboys and Cowgirls to be,
Never give up on your dreams.
For all of you there is a rodeo waiting for you.
Rodeo is my thing,
For many years to come,
And I hope to meet a Cowboy,
Who thinks it's all fun
BARREL RACIN' POEM
You can't see the barrels when u start, though you and your horse stand patiently waiting both hearts pounding like crazy. In a blink your horse bursts into the arena. You round one barrel then the other, then the furthest one away. With your nerves racing you give it all you got and race as hard as u can home, hooves flyin’, ground rumblin’ and crowd cheerin’...The real heart of the barrel racing lies between the rider and the horse. In rodeo, the rider and the horse are like one incredible athlete...they compete together and they win together, that’s what I live 4.
