THE SASS COWBOY

By COOL WATERS, SASS # 7306

 

We all were cowboys, long before when

When all we wore, were diapers and pins

With plastic six-shooters, hung by my head

And the rocking horse, that stood at the end of my bed.

 

I mounted that old horse every Saturday

Watching cowboys, Roy Rogers, and Cassidy

With six gun in hand, I was there through it all

Never gave up, good guys never fall.

 

Them there years all now in the past

Guess what? Along here comes SASS

To bring back the old, to be with the new

Who was to know this is too good to be true?

 

To recreate memories of days long gone

And tell Western stories fiction or non

To live them dreams deep in our heart

Every month we get together and play a small part.

 

We dawn them old clothes and strap on that gun

Anticipating the moment, we’re fixin to have some fun

We use an alias, not our own name

To hide our identity to play this cowboy game.

 

Now we are playing with the real McCoy

How did they know it would be such joy

We shoot things called stages, just metal and sticks

Rules we must follow, no fancy gun tricks.

 

Old cowboys there way will never die

SASS surely has found the reason why

To “END OF TRAIL” and “WINTER RANGE

All comes down to the Spirit of the Games.
