Busted Gulch vol. 11

Last Call (Ruechari)

Last Call

Denver was now awake

The entire family now celebrates

Talulah knew what fate awaits

She must make her escape

Luckily Talulah planned for this

Dirk now severely pissed

She wouldn't pay him a dime.

"No the money is mine."

She needed it to get away

She planned it that very day

She took that shot with the Buffalo Gun

To grab the money so she could run

It was her back up plan

Should things go wrong

With Denver awake

She hadn't long.

She sat on her bed wondering why

Denver couldn't oblige and die

She worked so hard to build this place

What an accusing look on his face

Dirk had pointed the finger

right at her, using a buffalo gun

Knowing what a bastard he is

He probably did it just for fun.

The worst part was

she loved Denver still

But she knew the drill

Missy came first and forever will

For Talulah that was a poisoned pill

Denver may be willing to forget

He may even forgive her and yet

No, it was better this way

Stick to the plan she made that day

Made up in her very best dress

Checked her watch

1 more hour

would be her guess

She said good-bye

to the Liberty Belle

Lost it all

just like her brothel

Now she stood waiting at the station

The train due in soon her salvation

Only she'll never get to step onboard

Spend a dime of her reward.

"Leaving so soon," she heard his voice

She felt the stab in her back

Of course, this would be his choice.

For irony, he had a knack.

Dirk didn't need to stab her again

He went right for a vital organ

Pierced her right through the heart

"Looks like its time for you to depart."

He pulled out the knife

To the ground, she'd fallen

Looks like all her chips

Were called in.

She played the game

And she had lost

Her life turned out

To be the cost.
