The Cat Came Back

3Gun groaned and hung his head

He hoped the $%*@# cat was dead

With this sheriff's job he was up fed

Was it chocolate pudding that she said?


He counted ten and heard her plea

The cat was prob'ly up a tree

But he knew he'd have to go and see

Or regret it for eternity


He gave her a chair and calmed her down

Said he'd have a look around town

A smile replaced her sorrowful frown

When her pudding payment he did turndown


"I'm sure he's fine." 3Gun said.

"So don't you think your Jasper's dead.

Just give your name to the barman there

and wait for me right in that chair."


'I know where to look first.' He said to himself
