Nice Ride Cowboy

He throws back a shot of whiskey to build his courage

He stares down the beast he’s about to ride

He tips back his hat

As he slips into the saddle

With a nod of his head

And a wink of the eye

The gates open up and he begins the ride

He gets tossed and twisted from side to side

7.6 seconds is the end of the ride

He picks himself up, tired and ashamed

When his wife rolls over with a frown on her face

You couldn’t even make 8 seconds

NICE RIDE COWBOY!!!!!!!!!!

Great title,rhythm was fine , maybe you could say'But when his wife rolls over with a sigh.' I think that would flow better. Apart from that tiny tweak , i loved it. Much Love Lou xx

Rather than with a frown on her face , it could be ' with a discontented sigh '. lou xx
