**The Dueling Quips of the Southwest**Marvel at the clever wordplay and marksmanship that transform a shootout into a witty showdown.

A cowboy learns to face the winds with grit and a song in his heart.

In dusty towns where legends clash,

Two cowboys meet with words like flash,

Their eyes spark wit, their grins draw near,

A duel of minds, their aim is clear.

Amidst the saloon, the air grows tense,

With quips like bullets, they drop pretense,

“Your aim’s so poor, you’d miss a cow,”

The crowd erupts; their roars endow.

With every jest, the stakes arise,

Like hawks above in azure skies,

“Your tongue’s a snake, it slithers slow,”

Each laughter echoes, a bold bravado.

As sun sets low, the duel does cease,

With grudging smiles, they find their peace,

For in the West where bravado reigns,

A clever quip can ease the pains.
