There is not a day that goes by that I am not reminded somehow that I have had the honor of being the daughter of a rather eccentric, rustric Ole' Cowboy and Southern Gentleman,
My Daddy Bill Holmes.
Although he has been gone for several years, I still get requests for his Cowboy Poetry and the funny stories that are uniquely his. It just seemed appropriate to have a page where all of it could be compiled.
Stay Tuned!

The Salt Grass Trail

There’s a big ride comin’ up; 
Second month of each year 
It’s full of tradition; 
And we hold it so dear. 

“The Grand-daddy of ’em all” 
We proudly proclaim, 
“The Salt Grass Trail” 
Is the Big ride’s name. 

When the “Salt Grass” started 
Back in 1952, 
There was only one wagon 
And the riders were few. 

Now the ride’s got so big, 
You might call it “gigantic”, 
That puttin’ it on, 
Sometimes gets frantic. 

The ride’s overseers; 
All volunteers, 
Deserve lots of thanks, 
Hoorays and Cheers!!! 

The “Salt Grass” has a purpose, 
As all trail riders know, 
To lead the parade, 
For the big rodeo. 

The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo 
Is the biggest and best 
Promotion of Agriculture 
And of the old “Wild West” 

Come ride with us once, 
And this much I know’ 
When next year rol;ls around, 
Salt Grass Ridin’ you’ll go.
