Internet Cowboy
 
Web site cowboy sits at his screen
riding the cyber range to see
 
where the buffalo roam
and the Netscapers play.
 
Scouting out
where a gathering will be.
 
So long to the paper and pencil
tools of the trade, way to slow.
 
Hello to the www dot com
with hands in the proper homerow.
 
From Elko to Santa Clarita
the poets and musicians are found
 
while out on the internet highway
e-mail and websites abound
 
where the in-person handshake is outmoded
but the business of "cowboy" is being downloaded.
