ime a gonna buy a sail boat!

we were at a ropin at the old Biltmore arena in phoenix. there was a lot of us about my age. dally ropin was just getting popular, and a lot of the older guys were still acting like there tied ropes out in the arena, there for there was a lot of rope burned hands.  a lot of the old tie down horses were big stout and would hit the end of the rope hard.  I had a friend who shared the same first name as I did. he roped really good as did his younger brother. he had heeled a steer for one of those old tie down headers. that big ole stout head horse had just kept rollin and took every bit of my friends rope through his hand , burnin it pretty bad. after I roped my last steer I could see my friend sitting along the arena fence with a bag of ice in his hand trying to put out the fire. as I sat down next to him he looked at me and sair;" ime gonna buy a sail boat, don't want a moter boat because it might have a rope to start it with, no I don't want a sail boat either, its got ropes to pull the sail up with, I want a row boat. then ime gonna go some where there aint no ropes, no horses and no old men! " 
  ya know the next week I went to a ropin and he was there!
