      The Last Cowboy

      By Nevaeh Osborne

      Under the sky on the vast prairie land

      Stood a tall man with a lasso rope in hand

      A hand tanned by the sun

      A hand that helped make a country run

      He knew not what the future held

      But it was on his work that the country sailed

      Not just him but many toiled

      Only to see what work would soon spoil

       

      By a generation who chose not to care

      To pick up the plow and do their share

      So what does the future hold for these rotten youth

      Only the fate made for those who refuse the truth

       

      Youth! Young one please listen to me

      Do not rot away in your foolish fancies

      Or sorrow will be your reward

      To you who only self cared for

      Do not look down on the work of your father

      Or scorn the labor of your thoughtful mother

      Enjoy your youth wisely while you can

      But forget not to take the lasso in your hand

      The lasso on which the country ran

      "We don't play to win, we win by playing."

          Nice! I like it!

          Any noun can become a verb if you don't care enough.
