"I reckon I can trust you
I've taken Gabe's word"
The Mayor said, shaking hands
With the sheriff, he continued.
"Fame does travel fast
You shoot first and
ask questions later
that's what I've heard."
The Mayor patted his belly
As they sat around the round table
Their meal was ready
And was served quickly.
The diner was empty
Hastily arranged for the meeting
So that the mayor could tell his tale
Without any distraction.
He explained his visit to County
To ask the Marshall for helpas
Land had paid off sheriff
Wiseto make up fake bounties.
Together they threatened the folks
and slowly bought off properties.
The sheriff and the deputies from BG
Would help that was the Mayor's hope.
CG sat opposite the Mayor
Listening in disbelief
Trying to swallow her peas
Unable to feel relief.
The Mayor leaned in
to pick up his glassa
bang sounded on the street
CG slumped over with a gasp.
