THE COUNT

Posted on October 24, 2020 by | 5 Comments 

It’s an art
countin’ cattle,
‘specially calves—
it takes concentration
to keep a mind closed
to everything else
and get the same answer
twice.
 
Dad maintained
that the simpler the mind
the more dependable
the count—
the only excuse
I’ve got.

    My friend Billy the cowboy would say…not difficult, count the hooves and divide by four.
