RECENT POEMS


	Got Milk? I was in the bareback riding that Saturday night When before me unfolded the dangdest site A contest to see who could first get milk from a cow My memory is slowly coming back to me now Rick and I were hunkered along the fence, the way cowboys do This ought to be fun, ‘cause there’s bound to be a wreck or two The cow that exploded out of chute number one Had her mind made up, there’s gonna be no milking done The brindled she-devil came out breathin’ fire, with nostrals flared Rick and I decided real quick we needed to get the heck outa there With her head down low she ran down the fence, like a run-a-way train Behind her cowboys were falling from the sky, like a summer rain Faster than Superman, like a squirrel on speed I climbed a light pole In vain I searched for my good friend Rick’s body in the carnage below But Rick was on the pole above me and I still ain’t figured out how We both escaped the wrath and pain of that kamikaze cow 1/23/2011

A POEM FOR THE SEASON

	Christmas “Baa Humbug” Jake said to himself As he put on that bright red Santa suit Nobody cares about the meaning of Christmas They’re all just after the loot A bit dismayed that a pillow wasn’t needed To make the red suit fit right He hitched the Belgium’s to the buckboard And rode away into the snowy night He delivered presents to kids he knew Wouldn’t get any because times were tough The little smiles could melt his cold icy heart The kids could easily see through his bluff Sometime around midnight the snow piled so deep The old mares could no longer advance The thermometer was dropping as fast as his hopes He knew he didn’t have much of a chance He remembered a verse from the family Bible “You shall reap what you sow” “I know I’m just an old cowhand Lord, But I don’t want to die in a big ol’ drift of snow.” Then the clouds parted and a star lit up the trail home A smile appeared on his old face, so weathered and worn For he knew it was the same star that guided three wise men That night long ago when his Savior was born Kenny Phipps 12/4/2010

A POEM FROM KENNY'S LATEST BOOK
Just A Cowboy


	Experts “Papa,” my grandson said As we rode across the open range. "I saw something on the TV this morning That I thought was a little strange. “Down there in the Gulf of Mexico Oil is pourin’ into the sea, And they were interviewing a rock star And asked him what his solution might be. “Just ‘cause he can sing a song And has a million fans, Don’t he need oil and gas So he can fly his jet around this land? "And what about that sport’s hero, Telling us how he would stop the war. Wasn’t he arrested for beating his wife In front of his kids, ages two and four? "That actor who played that famous role For which millions he got paid. Everything he knows about foreign policy, He learned from a fictional character he portrayed. "So why do we listen to their voice, When they don’t really have a clue? They don’t know more than you or me, Or the guy who nails on our horseshoes.” Lane,” I said to the kid, “I’ll tell ya something that’s sad but true. Ninety percent of the American people Don’t have as much sense as you.”
