Birdlike blooms quivering
in the desert dusk,
as hordes of lizards crawl
over pallid sands.
The women rack-up another set,
joking, goofing off and waiting…
The cowboys,
donning rhinestone studded shirts,
and big hats – hitch the horses outside.
Another Friday night at
the Horny Toad Bar and Grill…
With a wink and a nod to the real deal in
Cave Creek AZ and using the 12 wordle-words in Sunday Whirl #20.

Ha! I love your setting, and am so glad the words brought you bck to an old haunt. This piece still has me chuckling. It sounds like a great place to visit, if I ever hitch my pony in Cave Creek, it’ll be to that cactus leaning up against the Horny Toad. 🙂
Thanks Brenda! Don’t know if you’ll see too many ponys there these days 😉
Sounds like a good meal to be had there! Great use of the wordle words and… thanks for the lovely comment on mine 🙂
Thanks for visiting and checking out the Horny Toad! The food was GREAT when we were there (maybe 30+ years ago!)
lol- That’s quite the name for a Friday night hangout. Thanks for the smiles.
And the name’s for real! Truth can be better than fiction. Glad it brought you smiles this morn.
What fun! I could picture those cowboys, and I’d love to visit the “Horny Toad Bar and Grill.”
If you’re ever in Phoenix/Scottsdale, it looks like it’s still there – although I’m not sure how many cows, horses, or cowboys you’d see!
You’ve certainly peopled the Horny Toad Bar and Grill with unforgettable characters!
