The Other Half

Brody woke to find a muffin next to Lou

He knew it was from you know who

He picked it up and chucked it away

"Oh no Buck, no points for you today."


Lou was still asleep

His heart was in trouble deep

He couldn't let that creep

Steal his Lou.


She said she'd give Buck a chance.

She said so much to him with a glance.

But he wasn't about to fight fair.

Delicious smells filled the air.


"Good Morning, Sunshine!

You're food is ready

And your favorite muffin.

Just a little added somethin'"


"Peaches and Cream

Tastes like a dream.

Nice of Gyn

To include them."


"I have to admit

I've never tasted it.

But I'm willing to

Give it a try."


He waited until Lou

Swallowed her bite

And kissed her outright.


No need for a translator

His feelings on his sleeve

He was one smooth operator. 


But Lou pulled back

All too quick,

"That was a dirty trick."


But he'd seen her smirk

"Well, I am a jerk."


Lou frowned,

"You really think this plan

Will work?"


"So long as Buck

Doesn't press his luck.

And somehow

Screw it up."


"Buck?" Lou looked around.

Her plate and half eaten muffin

Fell to the ground.


"Where is he?"


"He already left."


"Then so must we.

It's not good if he's

Too long

in Shamus' company."


Brody tried his best

Not to brood

But Buck even when

He wasn't here

could spoil his mood.


They got into town

Brody got the information

Of what went down.


"Brody and Shamus

Have left for BG

Okay Lou,

Leave the rest to me."


In no time at all he was

Back by her side.

"I got the proof.

Come on, Lou

Let's ride."
