Steamboat Rescue 2
The sun had dropped
and dusk descended
Waiting to enact their plan
had finally ended
By now the Belle
was in the marsh
Too far to hear the shooting
The signal from the Kit Kats
was a lonely owl hooting
Into the boats
they paddle from shore
closing on the Steamboat's wake
When it slowed and
they heard the whistle blow
right then was their chance to take
Myna and Brody went
quick to the bridge
3Gun and Billy below
Myna's knives and her
threatening image
made the captain's
resistance
no show
Brody tied he and the mate
then seated them on the floor
Myna took over the steering
and guided the boat to shore
In the hold were the guns
with two men on guard
One drew on Billy
a lesson learned hard
The other surrendered
without a fight
3Gun slapped Billy's back
It was a successful night
3Gun found the Kit Kats
and shared a ritual thanks
Gave them a message
for the chiefthen
left the river banks
One boat safely moored
no longer could sail
One crate of rifles
and three men in the jail
Now they waited to hear
if Denver captured the Belle
Meanwhile, drinks and muffins
all 'round was just swell
