It's Been Decided


Suddenly the map reappeared

But it was as they all feared

The best way

To get to Kae

Without delay

Was to pass through the mines


Most agreed the path too dangerous

They can do it without the fuss

What they need to do

Is find a canoe

And row up stream for a few

Until they reach the pines.


So no more talk about maps and things

They decided to go old fashioned and

Not with wings.

But Ruechari tied on a note

And this is what she wrote.


Take care Kae,

We're on our way

Making haste

No time to waste

If away, you manage to sneak

Head yourself away from the peak

We will meet you along the creek.


Ruechari whispers to the bird

"Now go to Kae,"

knowing, she was heard.


She held out her hands

The pigeon took flight.

Knowing they may need to fight,

Rue said,

"Let's load up on supplies.

We don't need any surprise,

We'll get one chance to get this right."


Stannbear said, "No, no, no!!!

The town can't afford any more dough.

Not one more penny will be spent

On this he would not relent.

Even if it were for canoe rent.


"No need to worry,"

Said Ruechari

"I got the money

This rescue is on me."


CG was none to pleased

To be left behind with her worries

Nothing to comfort except her muffins

Started to devour them by the dozens


Until one went down the wrong way

And she began to cough

Realizing the rest have gone off

Leaving only stannbear behind

CPR sprung to mind

"Oh hell no!" She spit it out.

That's somewhere she would not go. 


Rue, Billy, and Raven

Started paddling.


"It's been awhile

Since I've been at the Gulch.

So Raven keep in mind

that I know zilch."


"Hope you can give us a clue,

Of what we're up against,

What we should do?"


Raven said,

"Unknown is from where she came

Or why wild cats around her are so tame.

Anyway, she knows to trick the human mind;

Best would be to face her 'blind'.


Just once, many, many years ago,

There was a circus show

The troupe, however did part;

Question is: Where did they go to?"
