Let's Rope 'Em Cowboy
Loren showed up at Ron's
With ropes in hand
Hard to keep this a secret
But perhaps that's what he planned.

Ron opens the door
Took in the sight
His face filled with
Christmas delight.
Loren smiled.
I heard from an elf
Who sat upon my shelf
That you wanted some ropin' lessons
By the look on your face,
He was right I'm guessin'.
Ron nodded yes.
"Smart elf or good guess.
You want to start today?"
"Uh... let me ask my mom
if it's okay."
Loren watched him sprint away.
Soon he returned.
"I'll show you how I learned."
Loren took him to an open field
Set up with bails of hay.
"I'm just going to go through
the basics today."

She taught Ron how to make
A Hondo,
The first step every roper should know.

Then how to make a loop and coil.
Paying attention to the tip
Creating a shank and twirling a bit.
A few time he got tangled
But he learned right quick.

"You're a natural, Ron!"
For it wasn't long
That he was twirling the rope
Like a pro.
"Alright now aim for that bail of hay
and let go."
The rope went wide
Around did slide
He pulled it tight.
"Did I do that right?"

"You couldn't have done better.
Followed my instructions to the letter."
"Now I want you to practice some.
And once you rope ten out ten
We'll pick up these lessons again.
And I'll show you how to rope a calf."
Ron began to laugh.
Not remembering when he has so much fun.
"Hey, where you running off too!"
I gotta show 3Gun.
