Howdy Cow Pokes! This web site features the hilarious and outrageous works of Al “Mad dog” Marquis, and is specifically designed to sell and promote the 'Frivolous Cowboy Poetry' book, CD and audio cassette.

The phrase “cowboy poetry” almost seems like a contradiction in terms. We tend to think of poetry as elegant and polished whereas we generally regard cowboys as rough and crass. But this apparent incongruity is one of the reasons that cowboy poetry has become so popular.

Many of Al’s poems are based upon experiences that occurred during his childhood, as he grew up with his two sisters on a ranch with horses and cattle in western Washington. Other poems relate to more recent events at his Kingston Ranch in Sandy Valley, Nevada.

Take a few moments, visit the web site and sample some of Al’s works, and you’ll see what we are talking about. We are so certain that you will enjoy “Frivolous Cowboy Poetry,” or the newly released “Bucked, Bruised & Blackballed,”that we are offering a money-back guaranty. If for any reason, after you buy a book or CD, you do not completely enjoy these works, just send them back, and we will refund your money. No questions asked!
