The Brag

Part of Southron and Western male tradition is 'The Brag'. A man's brag says more about how witty, humorous, creative, and personable he is than how tough or accomplished he is.

Here's one of the best I've heard:

From This Cowboy's Hat by Chris LeDoux

You'll ride a black tornado, 'cross the western sky.
Rope an ole blue northern, and milk it til it's dry.
Bull dawg the Mississippi, and pin her ears down flat...
Long before you take this cowboys hat...
