Horseradish Hank
May 1100:03:41Tap to summarizeIn this episode of Cowboy Cantos, Jason Curtman shares a personal confession about those dangerous little red peppers hiding in Kung Pao chicken... and how they reminded him of a cowboy he once knew named Horseradish Hank.Hank had a love affair with horseradish that bordered somewhere between dedication and self-destruction. He put it on roast beef, biscuits, popcorn, pie, banana bread, and just about anything else that sat still long enough. The problem was... Hank couldn’t actually handle the heat.What follows is a humorous cowboy poem turned country comedy song about spicy food, bad judgment, watery eyes, stubborn pride, and the strange human tendency to keep going back for more punishment even when we know better.Filled with western humor, colorful food imagery, and fast two-step energy, this tale rides somewhere between cowboy poetry and old-time dancehall comedy. Best enjoyed with a grin, a cold drink nearby, and maybe a little caution around the peppers.Remember to keep your saddle cinched, ride clean, and go easy on the peppers.For more cowboy poetry and stories, visit CowboyCantos.com.
