A Chief's Words of Wisdom

Jujube couldn't believe

What he had seen

What was Ruechari thinking?

Billy had let him go

The pain on his face

Was not for show

He chose not to stick around

To face Billy for a second round

He heard Ruechari's sing to him

And realized it was over

Before it could begin

She loved Billy deeply

he could never win

He'd break the promise

They were meant to keep.

Okay,  this was big.

First he'd have to speak

To Chief ThingaMajig.

He found the Chief

Walking about town

Trying to negotiate

The vendors down.

Looking for the best price

On weapons, pelts, a bag of rice

Jujube walked up and said,

"I'd need some advice."

Chief ThingaMajig sighed,

Put back the wig.

And as he feared Jujube

Wanted to discuss Ruechari.

Jujube told him all he knew

About him, Billy and Ruechari too.

ThingaMajig could cut the tension

With a knife.

As Jujube waited for his advice

About all things Rue,

And what to do.

"JuJube what can I say,

I know it's been one hell of a day.

If you really want my advice.

Forget Ruechari, set her free.

And if you want to be happy

For the rest of you life.

NEVER make a pretty woman your wife."
