Abecedarian - Cowboys at Gilley’s

Almost all boys in Pasadena longed to
Be macho without doing much work.

Cowboy culture served up manliness 
Down the road in a cheesy bar.

Every cowboy worth his salt
Flung his leg over the electric bull.

Grinding gears tossed the young riders
High enough to make them hurl.

In that saddle on the back
Jarring of balls was a given.

Kind of makes you wonder why
Ladies loved them.

Maybe it was the smell of hay,
Nighttime aftershave.

Or maybe the women imagined their men
Perched on horses on the open plain.

Quit trying to figure this out.
Randy cowboys loved to act hot.

Sizzling in their plaid shirts,
Tits hardened from too much bull bumping.

Ugly is the truth -
Vaginas were all they cared about.

Weekends were their time to “Yeehaw!”‘
xcitment exploded at Gilley’s honky-tonk.

Yep. That was quite a show -
Zoo animals showing their behinds.
