The Lemonade Encounter

3Gun arrived with his news

Alister refused the deed

Now he was left to choose

Gold he didn't need

3Gun had to think

Miss Darkly sipped her drink

stannbear saw her wink

his face turned pink

She asked 3Gun about the woman

Galina's her name

She's a relative of his

And Alister's gold is her game

stannbear felt his neck

under Miss Darkly's appraisal

He asked what she was thinking

But his voice became nasal

3Gun sat in his chair under the stairs

watching the couple with their drinks

The bounty hunter had an agenda

and was using stannbear to connect the links

The lemonade was gone replaced with beer

stannbear felt her standing very near

His eyes both crossed and he drained his glass

as he heard her whisper in his ear
