My
Friend and Idol. There’s all kinds of cowboys and some have
been a good hand, Fay Jandreau was one of the
favorites I knew in this old land. He was counted as one of the best riders
on the old C Cross, I
knew cause at one time I too had the same boss. I partnered with him many times at a
ropin, And even though I was kinda young he was
always open. Always friendly and happy to see you, If you knew him he was that way with you
too. Heard a lot of good stories about him
over the years, About
horses , cows, whiskey and the beers. Growing up I always wanted to be like
him, But chances of that were pretty slim. He was as good of a man as I ever met, Never have I heard anyone say anything
bad about him yet. Now’s he’s crossed the great divide, And I’ll bet he’s smiling and enjoying
the ride. All them old friends and horses that have
gone before, Bet they was all lined up waitin at the
door. Angels had gathered them all up in
anticipation, Singing
the old songs readyin a great reception. When it’s our turn to leave this old
earth, Bet he put‘s in a good word on our worth. A good hand has now rode on ahead, Shoot boys he’s still alive, just his old
body is dead. With great respect we’ll put that in the
ground, With full knowledge that the old Fay is
still around. This is my tribute to a great friend and
man. One of the best cowboys I ever knew that
rode across this land. © 10/30/18 Kenny Konechne |
New Chore
Girl The Lazy K Y got a new chore girl, She’s pretty as a fresh new pearl . One month old and already feeding cattle, Two months old and has a brand new saddle. Soon she’ll learn how to cope, With her new pink rope. With pretty pink boots on her feet, A pink Cowgirl hat would look pretty neat. Kooper Skip, what a name, Ropin and doctorin pen cattle will be her
game. Going to be fun watchin her grow up, Same as her dad, known him since he was a pup. Soon ma will just be cookin and cleanin, Kooper will be calvin them cows and doing the
weanin. Maybe another sibling will show up and lend a
hand, Dad will set in the rocker, done got canned. The Lazy K Y will be under new management now, Bettin before she’s three, she’ll own her own
cow. Grandpa’s, Grandma’s and uncles will all be
proud, This little gal’s going to stand out well
above the crowd. 2018 forecast for Kooper Skip, written in
rhyme, By her first secret admirer, once upon a time. © 4/10/18 Kenny Konechne |
So Long Joe I
came to see you this morning and you were gone, I
was late again, I waited a bit too long. I
wanted to tell you a few things before you went away, About
how lucky you were going to be today. Yup you lucky
bugger, Your getting out of that place, No
more doctors, medication or bad food to face. You’re
going to be the happiest man around, Cause
I know for sure you are heaven bound. We
had good talks you and I on many a day, How
you tried to help many lost people find the way. There
is a reward waiting for your good deeds, And
I know you won’t be sorted and burnt with the weeds. All
those prayers for others didn’t go un-heard, Jesus
will come and gather them up into his eternal herd. You
set a great example your last few years here on earth, And
God knows the true value of your worth. Hey
would you do me a favor when you’re wandering around, Now
that your free and no longer bound? Put
in a good word or two for the rest of us here, It
ain’t gonna be easy for some, I fear. Would
you keep your eye out for my old brown horse, And
your old bald faced mare too, of course? We
sure enjoyed many a good ride, We’ll
do it again as soon as I get on the other side. Oh..
I won’t miss you like many others will, Cause
I can still hear you if I set quiet and still. Your
still alive only you’re a free spirit now, Enjoying
the grass on the other side, like a fence jumpin cow. So
Long… Joe. © Kenny Konechne 9-18-2014 |
