The Cooling Laughter of Southwest HeatAn anthology capturing the creative and laughter-filled cooling escapades of Southwest cowboys.

Do what’s right, ride tall, and keep your boots clean—it’s the cowboy way.

In desert suns where shadows play,

The cowboys laugh as night gives way.

With spurs that jingle in the cool,

They gather ‘round the water pool.

The cactus blooms, a vibrant cheer,

As stories flow, their voices clear.

The crackling fire draws them near,

While tales of pranks bring hearty cheer.

With lasso swung ‘neath starlit skies,

They craft their mischief, bold and wise.

A splash of water, a well-timed shout,

The cooling laughter chases out.

As dawn awakes with colors bright,

The echoes linger, pure delight.

For in the heat of Southwest lands,

A brotherhood of laughter stands.
