Wait Until Morris Gets Here
Wait until Morris gets here, the settlers told the Guerillas.
The notorious gang laughed without an ounce of concern.
They had encountered tough opponents, and reigned victorious.
Where is Morris? Someone whispered. Others began to whisper it too.
Morris must be some badass, the head of the gang thought.
It would be fun to put Morris in his place.
A blonde-headed woman came over the hill.
She was followed by an enormous over-sized grizzly bear.
“Here’s Morris!” the settlers said, as if it was a mantra.
The guerillas scattered and fled.
Thinking Morris was the bear.
Morris was actually the blonde.
She did not put up with trouble from anyone.
She used to be a nun.
