Tense Little Indian

With the boat tour postponed

'cause the mayor wasn't back

3Gun sat in his office

enjoying a snack

He paused mid chew

at the ruckus outside

and when he looked

there was the Comanche, Chechi

shouting wide-eyed

"What's the matter this time?"

Her look was alarmed

"Down on the rails,

a man has been harmed!"

3Gun looked at his snack

and heaved a sigh

and followed the girl . . .

boy did her feet fly!

Sure enough, there on the track

lay a still man

flat on his back

"Go fetch the Doc,

tell him to bring a wagon.

This fella won't last long

his breathin' is saggin'."

___

All the fuss and runnin'

had brought folks

to view

and there was CG

right on cue

her newshound nose

in all its glory

never let her down

sniffin' a story.
