Yellow Ribbon

He made quite an impression And he was very much aware They had combed and fluffed His soft lovely brown hair His horns were formed perfectly Feeling heavy on his head His owners seemed so excited Patting him more when they fed He knew he looked striking For folks stopped out by the road Admiring his every move As across the barn field he strode There wasn’t a single doubt That something great would come Once the judges saw him at the fair He would impress most of them He’d get a blue ribbon, he felt Next week at the state country fair Though there was much competition With hundreds of animals there Then he sighed with less confidence Shook his broad head with a snort He’d at least win a yellow ribbon His owners would happily report!
