Hens Tail Happy Hour

Ruechari's Kit Kat staff worked hard and steady.

The hotel was almost ready.

Tru was tuning his guitar 

One eye checking O'Boyle 

busy behind the bar


Mixing lemons and soda water

Into bottles on the counter

"Why Sir are you making lemonade?

It's whiskey and beer that gets the rent paid." 

Tru said,

"Opening night is a big night."


O'Boyle smiled and replied,

"And I heard this Paris notion 

of a new potion.

How they mix spirits and soda pop.

I kid you not.

They call it Hens tails. 

Apparently popular with the females.


O'Boyle turned checked his hair in the mirror.


"I do declare that's the eighth time in the hour,"

Tru said true

"you been checking yourself in that mirror."


"Opening night, 

just want everything to be just right."

O'Boyle smiled fixing his hair.


Tru leaned back on his chair,

"Opening night is that your reasoning?" 

Tru asked his guitar romantically strumming.


O'Boyle smiled 

And lied

"Ain't doing it to impress no girl. 

This is all for the boss Rue 

now if you don't mind guitar man 

I've work to do." 


 O'Boyle hurried outside

 with the opening night banner to unfurl.

"All for the boss Rue-"

Tru gave his guitar a playful twirl

"Who outlaw, is a girl."
