Where the West Stands Tall
In the land of cowboys, the horizon is just the beginning of the journey.
In Arizonas sun, where the tumbleweeds roll,
A wrangler named Jim had a curious goal.
With a lasso of twine and a joke on his tongue,
He sought out wild cacti, to catch them, so fun.
He rode through the brush, with a grin ear to ear,
Those prickly-pear brutes were giving him fear.
With spines like the thorns on a vengeful rose,
He chased them across the desert, in comical prose.
Oh, cactus, come here, he™d shout with delight,
As they danced ˜round the sagebrush, elusive and bright.
Each lunge met with laughter, each tumble his fate,
Wrangling the cacti seemed simply too late.
But under the stars, as night™s curtain fell,
He learned that in laughter, the wild ones could dwell.
For in every struggle, with spines and with glee,
A wranglers heart softens, and so must we be.
