Come gather 'round, young tykes, and hear
A tale of pioneers and broncos, bold and dear
Of lassos, embers, and the great Wild West
Where cowboys roamed and had a rip-roaring fest

The cowboys rode their broncos with pride
And fearlessly took them for a romp outside
They tamed the beasts with a lasso's swing
And made the Wild West their own, king by king

But in the night, there came a dread
As the embers of the fire flickered and spread
The cowboys knew they had to act fast
To save their home from the fiery blast

They worked together, with all their might
And kept the flames at bay, throughout the night
And when the sun rose, they saw the dawn
And knew they had won, and kept their home

So let this tale be a lesson, dear
Of bravery, teamwork, and facing fear
For when we work together, we can achieve
Anything we want, and make the impossible, believe!
