  Saddle My Horse

  You ever wish you were back in the good old days, where you could say "Ma, I'ma get me a wife today" and she'd reply "Be back by supper".

  When you could saddle up your horse, ride to the neighbors and say "Sir, I'd like to marry your daughter." 
  And he'd say "What have you to offer me?"
  I'd reply "two pigs... and this county fair winning goat". 
  He'd return "You drive a stiff bargain, but that's a mighty fine goat.  Betsy, have a good life".
  Gratefully, I'd say "Thank you sir, I'll take good care of 'er."

  And then we'd ride back to my ranch, I and her soon to be married.  Back massages follow, but nothing is forced.
  The succeeding country life is serene; what could have been is not thought about for this is all we know.

  Supper is mashed taters and chicken.  It would have been pig, had I not traded those two away.
  It was worth it.

  Good old days indeed.
