Unexpected Allies


Three Gun got that look in his eye.

Before I knew why the reply

He turned the table up on its side

And said, "You best get behind and hide."


Two of his guns were in his hand

I think we just formed an impromptu band

With my peacemaker I took my stand

It felt like a good day to die.


"I got your back, Three Gun."


Who thought this would be

It was suppose to be a showdown

Between him and me.


I couldn't help but laugh

When the bullet went whizzing past.


"Promise you'll get that Limerick

'bout Lean's crazy horse

If we make out alive,

Of course."


"But we don't know who exactly won,"

He said before firing back his gun.


"I don't care." saying with a wink

"My passion lies with words and ink."
