    What exactly is Cowboy Poetry? Is it the tortured Freudian ramblings of a lonely man who spends each day staring at a cow's backside?
    Everything in life is an approximation.

      I'd love to see them, funny or not. Promise I won't make fun.

        Like a tract unfolded upon a table;
        Let us go, through certain half-deserted streets,
        The muttering retreats
        Of restless investigators in one-room cheap hovels
        And questionable restaurants with garbage pails:
        Streets that follow like a tedious argument
        Of theological intent
        To lead you to a baptismal covenant …
        Let us get on with it,
        Let us go and make our visit.

        In the room, the elders come and go
        Talking of Mahonri Moriancumr.

                Attendere. La poesia en italiano non è mia. Ho messo la poesia tra virgolette, perché appartiene ad Eliot.

                  S’io creyese que mi respuesta fuera
                  a una persona que nunca volviera al mundo,
                  esta llama staria sin mas choques.
                  Pero perciocche nunca de este fondo
                  no vuelvo vivo ningún, s’i’odo el verdadero,
                  sin tema d’infamia te respondo.
                  I cheated and used a little translation site. It's supposed to be European Spanish. I can only hope it's fairly accurate. Or at least close enough.

                  Edit: Not sure what the little symbols are. Mis disculpas

                    It's a specific style of poetry that allows the writer to rhyme bear with car, and were words like discombobulate can be inserted in random places just for effect.

                      No te preocupes. Entiendo perfectamente lo que dice en italiano, pero quise asegurarte que yo no fui el autor de las líneas citadas; son de Eliot. La traducción que ofreciste no sirve mucho porque es una mezcla de italiano y castellano, pero gracias por intentarlo.

                        Cowboy poetry can be awesome. My brother does western art (oil painting) and goes to the big events sometimes. He has quite a few of the good ones memorized.

                        But this is stuff that is much better when performed live.

                              My wife want to have toilet paper printed with "Footprints" on it. Also, the saying, "Everything happens for a reason".

                                There once was a Mormon from Orem
                                Who was the teacher of the Elder's Quorum
                                He said with a grin as he wiped off his chin
                                As far as Boyd K. Packer goes - Ignore him!
