Sush Baby Sleep
Acrostic poem
Shush baby sleep.
It's a full moon tonight.
Let the magic into your dreams.
Easy in your settled bed.
Night gleams upon you.
Calms the silence with a lullaby.
Ends the fight of bedtime.

Violence Begets
"Any last words, cowboy?" "None you'd understand, sodbuster." "Funny. That's Marshall Sodbuster to you. But I meant some last nugget that would help us in the adjudication of the myriad offenses counted against you and your gang. I wasn't asking for penitence."
