Back Home
"Is he dead?" the mayor said
"No, not just yet"
The 3Gun replied with a smirk
The bullet had missed its mark
It grazed his shoulder and stuck a beam
The fall was for dramatic effect.
CG sat on the floor ready to scream
Then hugged him unchecked.
Gabe smiled silently
And talked the mayor away
Giving the hugging couple some privacy.
The bodies were stacked
And carted away for burial.
The news had spread like wildfire
The hotel had been attacked
But the deputies had saved the day.
The mayor gasped speechlessly
He was extremely impressed.
The next day, he announced a holiday
And thanked them for their bravery
Gabe and CG said their goodbyes
The BG gang was on their way.
The ride was hard and took a while
But it didn't prevent 3Gun's smile
CG was safe and her worries all over
Bella and Brody like two kids in a clover
Myna happy but missing her twins
All Land's men now fully paid for their sins
Billy and Buck prepared to party
The townsfolk all out with cheers that were hearty
BG felt good, like a well-worn shoe
And for a welcome change there was nothing to do.
