The Call of the Open Range
The wild west wasn’t tamed by sitting still—it took courage to follow the horizon.
In dusty boots, young Slim rode tall,
With a grin that sparked like a coyotes call.
He dared a critter with fiery eyes,
To munch on peppers, the boldest prize.
The snakes went slithering, the rabbits did hop,
As word spread quick that the fun wouldn’t stop.
With every bite, a squeal and a cheer,
A spicy showdown brought folks from far near.
The prairie dogs danced in a heated craze,
While lizards leaped high in a salsa haze.
Slim gulped down one, his cheeks bright as flame,
No longer just a cowpoke–now a spicy game!
As laughter echoed through cactus and stone,
Each creature’s tongue burned, but they weren’t alone.
With a wink, Slim said, Lets share in this feast,
For laughter’s the spice that brings joy to the least.
