Hey cowboy, I've overheard JW, RR, Clappy, Dealer Dude and the other slickers discussin' the possibility of hirin' on some 'professional' help for the round-up tomorrow. They've compiled a list o' the ornery-ist, cussin-ist danged 'ombres they think can handle the job. Now, I'd like to recommend an acquaintance o' mine- Mike, the TOUGHEST COWBOY I've ever had the pleasure to ride with. Let me tell 'ya... I've listened to you varmits braggin bout cowboys, the toughest you've known. But the 1st liar don't have a chance, boys 'cause I know one, tough- to the bone. He come out from some place in Kansas and in truth he's hard to dislike, 'cause he aren't really mean, just HARD-HEADED. we call him Pea-williker Mike. When the weather gets below freezin' he never covers his ears, so now each one looks like a knot-hole as the pieces broke off through the years. And a she bear invaded his camp once. Insisted on sharing his plate, but... he saved the last of his biscuit though now he can just count to eight! And he used to have both of his elbows and a forehead without so much slope, 'till a cow jerked him out of the saddle and he wouldn't let go of the rope! And he's faster than most at fixin' fences, though in truth it's beyond belief 'cause he keeps both hands free for poundin' by stretchin' the wire in his teeth! And what's more...he don't use a hammer. drives nails with the back of his hand. but this last thing I'm fixin' to tell ya will PROVE there's no tougher man! While bringing a cow to the home ranch, adrift in a cowboy's dreams... a RATTLESNAKE up and surprised him. His horse come apart at the seams! He bucked c-l-e-a-n outta the saddle, so high that his bad breath condensed... and he came down a cussin', and lighted astraddle a danged barbed-wired fence! Cut 'im right up to the buckle! 'tween his feet and his chin. Heck...he just let his stirrups out longer, and rode his old pony on in... THE TOUGHEST COWBOY by Baxter Black
