'Mike Puhallo's range rhymes are true to the cowboy ranch culture because he lives the life. He is a deep thinking historian with a wacky sense of humor who singles out words, catches phrases in his loop and dallies his verses to a solid snubbling post. Mixed with an occasional bit of BS and a whole lot of common sense, his poetry reflects the cowboy way and shows us the trails we need to ride to keep our western culture alive and well for future generations.' - Doris Bircham, poet and rancher, Piapot, Saskatchewan
