Vaquero

Vaquero

Do you see this picture of this vaquero?

He’s my dad

A John Wayne type, the real true grit

He showed off his skills with roping

Rodeo competitions and horses

Bowlegged, fearless, animal-loving

vaquero

Under his hat is a box of camel cigs

Yes! he won that buckle he’s wearing

This vaquero lassoed his love to his family

See, how he has his arms around me and

Brother? You might think he’s another

Vaquero in the arena, but he’s more than that

He’s my dad.
