Too Much Pain
Ruechari felt Jujube's pain.
She wished she could help
But she was too drained.
Jacob said, "Don't worry Rue
Let me help you."
He helped Jujube stand on his good leg
WhatsHisFace also came to their aide
"Let's get him to Rue's office, there's
a sofa in there. It'll be a hell of a lot more
comfortable than the bottom of this stair."
WhatsHisFace nodded in agreement
While Rue stayed behind
Once again making apologizes
For the men in her life that have lost their minds.
Soon she joined them in the room.
Jacob said, "Sorry Rue, it's definitely broken."
She knelt down next to Jujube.
"What caused this? What words were spoken?"
"Ronan wanted to talk to you.
I wanted him to think things through.
He's not right for you, Rue."
"That's not for you to decided!"
"Strop is no longer in his way.
I know you'll never turn him away.
Rue, how many times has he hurt you already."
Doc finally arrived.
