The Tringo Kid

They called her The Tringo Kid
If she had money, then that’s all she did
Should they interrupt her game
She’d send them home lame
Be they human, furry or squid
She wore her gun low on the hip
A cigarette hung off from her lip
Her finger’d be itching
Her eye’d be twitching
And her drink, slowly she’d sip
One day as her score did climb high
Appeared right in front of her eye
Between she and her card
A fellow rezzed hard
And we all knew that soon he would die
The gun then appeared in her hand
So fast, we could not see when
And as smoke filled the room
To darken his tomb
The stranger was blown limb from limb
They cleaned up the floor that same night
Then got one hell of a fright
Implanted between
Where his eyes should have been
Was a push-bullet lodged in him tight.
And he lies there to this very day
A warning to all that would play
If you come in between
The Kid and her screen
Kid Tringo will blow you away.
