What To Do?

Shamus made it to the saloon.

This will all be over soon.


He order some Irish whiskey.

He had some time to kill

And was feeling frisky.


There was a girl who sung

A song about Lemontrees

and Hammocks slung


It was a sweet song

About love and romance

Falling hard at a glance


He walked right on over

To this sweet four leaf clover

He threw some bills into her case

He had to admit he liked her face


"So do ya have a name?"


"Loren," she said

handing him back

his money again.


"I get paid from Crooked Smile."


"I was just hoping to talk

for awhile a little while."


Loren gave him a smile

"Thanks, but I'm taken."


"I sure do like how ya sing

And I don't see no ring."


Buck tried to stay behind

He knew she declined

He hoped Shamus would

Just walk away.


But Shamus kept trying

Though his attempts were dying.

Finally,

"Shamus, she belongs to AJ."


"You say that name

Like it's attached to fame

But it makes no difference to me."


"A friend of yours, Buck?"

He just ran out of luck.

"Lou's divorcee."


"Is that so?

Then I think you should go."


"I'll leave when I'm ready."


"I told you Lou had friends."


"And this is where it ends.

Buck, why don't ya come with me?"


"I think I'm good here thanks!"


"That's fine. I will find Lou

And when I do..."


"You'll do what?

I'd love to know."


Lou picked the worst time to show.


Shamus reached in his pocket.


Buck dove at Lou, yelling , "No!"
