Some of the poems really hit home today, just like in the one titled \"Cable Ready\". Then there are those that are a little sad, others that are funny, and others that are just about the everyday life of the traditional cowboy. The \"real\" cowboy ceased to exist by about 1910 because of things like freight trains and barbed wire. Freight trains eliminated the need for long cattle drives, and barbed wire was able to keep a herd of cattle confined indefinitely.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis eBook has 33 poems and two short stories:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eINDEX OF POEMS\u003cbr\u003eTitle\u003cbr\u003eThe Black Stallion\u003cbr\u003eThe Ranch Handyman\u003cbr\u003eWork History\u003cbr\u003eThe Rodeo Experience\u003cbr\u003eA Worn Friendship\u003cbr\u003eBackfire\u003cbr\u003eCable Ready\u003cbr\u003ePackin’ A Rod\u003cbr\u003eThe Breakdown\u003cbr\u003eToo Tough To Die\u003cbr\u003eUnscheduled Departure\u003cbr\u003eUnder The Mylar Dome\u003cbr\u003eThe Slickers Losing Hand\u003cbr\u003eThe Cowboys Personal Possessions\u003cbr\u003eThe Legendary West Texas Oil Well\u003cbr\u003eA Faded Horse\u003cbr\u003eA Cowboy’s Lament\u003cbr\u003eA Fresh Start\u003cbr\u003eDown Home Comfort\u003cbr\u003eEchoes\u003cbr\u003eJust Passin’ Through\u003cbr\u003eMy Friend Doc\u003cbr\u003eRemembrance\u003cbr\u003eThe Rookie\u003cbr\u003eThe Dude\u003cbr\u003eThe Best Job\u003cbr\u003eThe Best Seat In The West\u003cbr\u003eThe Greenhorns Attention To Detail\u003cbr\u003eThe Perils Of A Chuck Wagon Cook\u003cbr\u003eThe Ranch Hands Dental Appointment\u003cbr\u003eThe Rocket Ride\u003cbr\u003eWhen Bad Luck Rears Its Ugly Head\u003cbr\u003eBlame (Just an old Cowboy Saying)\u003cbr\u003eShort Story: The Legend of Mongrel Smith\u003cbr\u003eShort Story: The Phantom Stampede\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Cowboy's of today have a relatively easy job considering the Internet, pick-up trucks, ATV's and other items that the OLD cowboy didn't have access to.
