Cowboy what?

The other night while working at the bookstore a woman in her mid-twenties dressed in what I can only describe as rodeo watching attire approaches the information desk and asks, "Do you have any cowboy poetry?" My initial response was to say, "Uh, no...I'm pretty sure we don't." Followed by laughter. But, instead, I remembered that the customer is who we are there to serve so I said that I didn't know but I would be happy to look it up on the computer. I was shocked to see that not only did the computer not reject the keywords "cowboy poetry" but it told me that we had not one, not two, but four books of cowboy poetry! I guess there is something for everyone.
