An Average Day

I left the sheriff

At the crack of dawn

There was work to be done

I had to get a move on.

Got a telegram reply

Form Gus, Gabe, and sons

"There's no property here

For any of your sums."

I planned out the articles

Got a quick lunch at noon

Something didn't make sense

I felt out of tune

Made a few doodles

Ideas on a note strewn

About Raven and Leo

The tracks, the bullets, the goons

I needed some answers

Would have to meet the sheriff soon.

One last thing to do

Before the end of the day

No back stepping

There's no other way.

I made a promise

I wouldn't dilly dally

I wrote a message

Swiftly and aptly.

"CM come here quick

Here's a note

Oh! Darn it!

You can't go on the boat.

Ron ... you deliver this

so Denver knows what I wrote

No need for confusion

Or for misquotes

Wait a while and bring a reply

From the riverboat."

Ron took the envelope

Which was sealed tight

He rushed off to the dock

Soon had the boat in sight.

He handed it over

To one of the crew

He watched the fishes some

Returning with no news new.
