Bloggy: Let’s Have A Barrel Race!

Mr._Bloggy cannot even scarcely begin to express his wonderment and toe curling slackjawedness at two gubernatorial candidates trying to out cowboy the other so as to win the hearts and (chuckle) minds of Idaho voters. A rodeo champion vs a cutting horses rider on his gramps dang ranch. We do not need a debate, nor do we want one. Let's have a barrel race! Let's break some broncs! Let's cook beans over a campfire and listen to the lonely howl of a coyote and chew some 'backy and have a cowboy poetry contest.Cowboy_Bloggy will start it off:

I dun rode my horses all day
kiss sum babies ate some hay
i'm runnin for guvner of Idaho
not no rustler nor gummint 'ho
best vote for me not that slicker
he's a saddle sore, buttocks sticker

Question: Can you think of other ways Butch Otter & Keith Allred can settle their race for cowboy-in-chief?
