Bad Idea
The circuit judge had come to town.
It was now or never
Lou tracked him down.
He'd be staying in BG over night
She wondered if she could get
Him to see the light.
To let her bailout Bruce
Though she had no excuse
She came to him undercover
Purposely staying out of sight.
She knocked on his door.
"May I help you?"
"I know you can,"
said Lou.
"I came here to speak
about Bruce Buchanan.
But first how was your ride
over the mountain?"
"Whenever someone wants to talk small
It never settles well with me.
Nope, not at all."
"Besides that's not like you, Lou.
What is it you want me to do?"
Lou knew it be hard for him to be swayed.
"I will take full responsibility for him."
But she knew what he really wanted
was to be paid.
She grabbed his hand
Placed in his palm the gold
"This should cover his bail."
He let out a slow whistle.
"Well low and behold!
Looks like Bruce may just skip jail."
"For now he can walk free
but I'll be back you see.
If the charges aren't dropped
by the time I come again
