Sort of a summer home:
A place to spend his vacation
Whenever he wanted to roam.

A place both wretched and rough.
Here the climate was to his liking
And the cowboys were hardened and tough.

and ordered no rain to fall:
He dried up the lakes in the valleys,

And how to swallow its young.

Then he made Scorpions and Lizards
