I'm a talented writer too.....I just like hiding my talent in a large wine cask of modesty!
Seriously - I can't write music, can't play an instrument (except you know what), can't draw or paint.....but I have this insane belief that I CAN paint a picture with words.
Beauty came to me that beastly night The shadows flickered on the candle perfumed walls of Yearning A yearning deep inside The beast......
The beast came unto her window Smelling Sniffing Engorged with primeval passion and then...........
Beauty sighed and rolled over in her sleep Beast felt a stirring of compassion And, then, This time - Beast let his blood hunger wait another night!
I got 'marksman' using a Browning 9mm and for a time it was my 'personal weapon' when on active duty and getting paid an extra 10 pence per day civilian clothing allowance!
They do - my last ex wife's previous husband was a cowboy and also took off to do rodeo occasionally...... leaving his wife to look after the kids and the house and a full-time job in a cotton mill and clean out and feed the horses and the small herd of goats she had because she heard that goat milk was good for something her son who had asthma or something - I forget what!
Two out of three sons became cowboys, but then moved on to doing other jobs.
I'm just jealous - I always wanted to be a cowboy and do rodeo and yell 'Yihaa' and spit chewing tobacco and make it go 'ping' in a tin over 10 feet away....I tried it once but just got a mouth full of dribble!
I yelled 'Yihaaa!' once also - but she told be to pack my bags and leave!
