Sheriff CG waited for the set to end

Then she waved 3Gun over

To buy a drink for a friend

"Sounded good, then I figured it would."

"Thanks sheriff, I could use a drink

and that lemonade tastes good."

CG turned around and spoke lower

"Wanted to ask you about stannbear there."

3Gun listened, drinking slower

"There's rumour he might be a cheat."

He banged down his glass and laughed with a snort

"Now that- that would be a real feat."

"There was a time he wanted to run the paper.

Something about a kidnap caper."

"Never heard that, what about you, CS?"

Wiping the bar, he said, "No idea. Wouldn't even guess."

"Well, the crowd wants me back. Thanks for the drink.

You might check with Raven, he's a cook now I think."

CG finished her drink and then left the bar

She'd walk to Rue's mall, it wasn't that far

On the way she saw Kae delivering the news

The headline was something about land deed revues

Unger the barber, waved from his shop

CG patted her hair, not wanting to stop

As she got to the mall U.B. Well galloped by

"Got a calf to deliver! No time to say hi."

Rue stood on the porch, in the latest of fashion

Licking an ice cream, the flavour her passion

"Want to ask about stannbear, the way he plays cards."

"Sure," Rue replied. "He and I are good pards."

Inside Rue displayed the store and its wares

Along with an ice cream to calm CG's cares

She showed her confections and clothes

And the latest in cotton

And by the time she was done

stannbear was forgotten
