Digging Dirt
Black Hat
Checked into the hotel
And went for the casino bar.
He ordered
And took a chair.
Listened to the loud gossip
Something about
An accident.
More about A Christmas Gala
And upcoming events.
He smirked
It would be easy
As eating apple pie
To win the trust
Of the town folk.
Black Hat swallowed
His drink and paid.
Then strolled out
To learn more
About the town.

"Quaint little town
You got here."
Black Hat slid into a stool
"I'll have a Whiskey
On the rocks".
CS stopped wiping the bar
And sized him up
While pouring out the drink.
"It sure is
And we call it home.
Haven't seen you around
Are you here to stay
