Buckaroo Lookin For Work

Buckaroo Lookin For Work
(Pt two to "Ranch Hand Wanted)


John was just a kid with big dreams of buckarooin

Outside of Jordan Valley toward the Nevada line

Now he knew better than to whine or fuss

But there must be an outfit hiring 'round here

"Now I don't wanna go to Arizona or Texas where i'd have to be a cowpuncher in brushy country, or have to wear a taco brim hat" he thought

"I've been schooled in the ways of the Great Basin as are my daddy and his daddy before him, it's my home you know".

"Somethin's just gotta give"

His best friend Jim told Johnny that he oughta

Place an ad in the paper or on the 'Net askin if anyone needed a hand

"Man" said John "that sounds like a plan"

So off he went to write the ad

When he was done Johnny said "well here it is Jim"

"Situation Wanted : Good cowboy looking for work. I have my own horses and tack that I've spent years acquiring and learning to use so I'd rather ride your four-wheeler. Housing required, we prefer leaking roofs and it must be mouse infested. The ranch must be on verge of bankruptcy. I would especially like to train a lazy son or nephew how to do my job so I can be replaced at any time"


"Well now hey that sounds pretty good John" said Jim, "But why on earth would you want to work at a place like that"

"Heck it sounds like my place" laughed Jim

With a smile and a smirk Johnny answered

"It is your place"

Jim was silent for a sec

Then he chuckled "by golly you're right"

John replied

"of course i am right, you've been through 10 hired hands already this year" said John

"So I figured the time was right to ask you"

"Are you hiring right now Jim?"
