Hard Lesson
"I'll bet that's something you were told.
Always keep one bullet in the chamber.
It's too late now
and I don't think you're that bold,
it's just something you forgot to remember.
You try it now, I'll drop you cold.
Your story, son, will never be told."
All that talk about books, just a distraction
He lay down the gun, the situation was bad
To be tricked so easily by a librarian
Uno Zabba was going to be mad
"You ain't gonna shoot me," he boldly cursed.
"Don't push me son, you won't be the first."
Harriet sat him in a chair and tied his hands
then asked him where his partner had Lorne
and as well what were their mighty plans,
her voice was filled with scorn
"Zabba will kill you. You're gonna die."
"And so might you, so answer me and don't lie."
