Subject(s): Arizona; Deserts; Food & Eating


A city of the desert,
A part of our great Southwest;
Its magical spell has won us,
Of charm it is possessed.
We love its glorious sunsets,
Its skies of azure blue,
Its purple-tinted mountains,
Its flowers of every hue.
So here's a toast to Phoenix,
By nature richly blessed,
This city of the desert,
A part of our great Southwest.
