Howdy folks its “Let Her Rip” Lucky coming to yea from the tater patch.

Wow here it is December the month of glitter, Santa, Snow did I say snow.  That’s what the folks back east are yelling.  Well first of all I like to wish all of yea out in web land the Happiest Of Happy Christmas and a Great New Year.  I know here at the ranch house we all will be a rip snortin month by golly. This as every year We move the household stuff out and Christmas stuff in which is getting to be a major chore. I have a building full of Christmas decorations which we use once a year but let me tell yea one thing I would not change it for nothing.

Now dust off those pencils and think back to your childhood memories of fresh baking and the glitters of the coming day. Remember when you wasn’ a youngster and asked for a pony or new saddle you been eyen’ or maybe the favorite Roy Rogers Pistol and holster set.

What are yea all waiting for write, write like the wind before this magical times leaves again for another year. Use them pencils like six shooters writing out words faster than a six guns bullets. While sugar plums are dancin’ remember that favorite dog Rex or Max you received with that big red bow Christmas Day. Remember all the folks all have kind words instead of the grumpy stuff shirts they are the rest of the year.  Children with huge smiles and eyes a glowin waitin for that fat man in a red suit to slide down the chimney and deliver that special toy they have been being super good for.

I know as I am writing this article so many things are running through this cob webbed mind of this here Old Cowboy for certain. I remember going to my Grandma’s house every year for years and traveling through all kinds of weather. We did have cars and trucks we did not have to go miles and miles on horse back like we like to have our kids believe.   “Remember To Ring” a bell Ifn you can I have volunteered for a couple of days for the Salvation Army for food and help for trough’s that do not have.

Now I am not pushin religion only help for those  who do not have.    Plus you can get some great material for your writtin’.  I’ll tell yea I have already had about a book full.

Speaking of which,  church bells and mangers and the meaning of Christmas has popped up everywhere since November so the town is a sparkle.  Do not let us forget what it is really about though and bow our heads once and a while.

Save those Christmas cards can’t tell either the picture or verse may inspire a poem out of yea.  Please though do not copy the material unless you get permission from the hard workin person who wrote it or took the Photo.  Just save for inspiration

I know Robert and RJ are working their fingers to the bone trying to get you the top articles and entertainment on the web. Speaking of I will be hosting to speak a new site through Wild West Performers but it will be at www.cowboytrails.org and it will be a site for all you Cowboy Poets or wanna bee’s. Yea all can come and ifn you’re a cowboy poet air some of your wares or talk about how to get your material published  and help of any kind from cowboy poets. We are hoping to get the best and the newest artist to come and just like leanin’ over the fence and talk to yea all like friends and family. Yep a family of cowboy poets.

Remember as we covered in past articles to get that pad and pencil and keep it with yea forn your gonna get some great Ideas out of the blue.  Write them down even ifn you think they are not great. You be surprised how many of a great poems come from what a poet though wasn a reject and threw it in just to fill his or her book.

Well remember to join me at the Cowboy Poet site listed above ifn just to stop in and say howdy.  For all you poets lets get on and help some of the youngsters in the poetry line.  We all have been at a place where we gave up because we could not find any wrangler to kinda point us in the right direction.  Also ifn you be so kind to pass the link on to all your outfit and friends and hands I would be tickled to death.

Like I said I am so tickled about the new site I could jump and spit at the same time. Wild West Performers has given us Barn Yard Poets a place to rest spin some yarns and to boot help those who are a needin’ it bad.  What is also great those of yea need a publisher Wild West Performers can do that for yea also along with CD great prices for us a might on the stingy side.

You will also be able to get the link on my site www.cowboychronicles.com also in case you’re a might forgetful.

Well I have to get this off to my Pard RJ who keeps all of us lookin great.

Once again. Have The Greatest Happyest, Brightest,  Rip Snortin Rip It Up(safely) Christmas.iWell that’s about it for this month except make sure you read Robert’s article along with RJ’s and the whole group. You’re sure to pick up a lot of wisdom as you know us cowboys & cowgirls sure can use that. Remember a person who does not like horse, has no horsesence and only half a brain.  Now remember us cowboys & cowgirls have the horsesence so we can put this learnin' on the other half of our brain.
