Disappearing Breed   Cowboys are a disappearing breed, They are dying out faster then their steeds. Barb wire crosses country far and wide, A pickup may replace his horses hairy hide.   He once was the only way to get cattle to the town, But now the truckers bring them down. A few cowboys still ride the wild country, They'll soon be gone, the loss then you will see.   You have seen him ride a bronc down at the rodeo, And in country tunes he's immortalized we know. Have you ever thought it thru what actually it means, To be a real cowboy is not exactly what it seems.   You have to be a strong man to handle broncs every day, For herding cattle and eating dust he don't receive much pay. But when it comes to freedom, family and our land, With his last breath he'll fight and stand.   By Rosemarie J Kramm 1999
