Fernando Ramone

Fernando Ramone was a Latin lover Who dazzled the girls with his charm He could often be seen strolling along With a gorgeous girl on each arm It didn't feel much different this night Though the mood in the bar was uneasy As he wandered in, all eyes were on him He was sweating and feeling queasy Tension was thick, could be cut with a knife With conviction he strode to the bar A shot rang out from the back of the room Ramone dropped, his mouth oddly ajar Patrons froze as he lay in a heap Not a single sound could be heard A man emerged from the back of the room Strode forward without saying a word Gasps were heard as he came into the light Deputy Marshall John Parker by name Tracking down Ramone for many years A rampage of mayhem his fame Ramone was wanted in twenty-three states For a ten year murderous spree Asked why he shot him without any warning Parker mumbled the name Anabellee Anabellee was one of his victims And the daughter of Deputy John Rage and revenge was all he could feel Then the vengeance was suddenly gone Deputy Parker is now serving time For the murder of Fernando Ramone Some say Parker should really be freed But killing cannot be condoned

Taking another's life has its consequences. He was brave to do such a thing. Another amazing piece! Always, Laura
