Natural Selection We dickered over coffee As cowboys often will, But ol' "Bones" said his price was firm, At a hundred dollar bill. We wandered out to the barn, To choose which puppy I would take, Look each one over carefully, judge what kind of dog they'll make! There's a hundred old wives tales, On how to choose a dog that's tough, By looking in their eye or mouth, Or grabbing them by the scruff. A good cow dog must be bold, Smart and faithful as can be, So I sat down and waited, To see which puppy would choose me! Mike Puhallo
