THE CRIME

TWO ALONE

By R. T. S.,

I'd face the whole world bravely, if I had you by my side

You, a gat, two quarts of gin, and a can of cyanide.

We'd travel the trail together, just the two of us, my dear.

With the aid of a knife, a big strong stick and a gun no cop could hear.

I'd ask no favor, darling, from the world or from the gods.

If I had you, a speedy car, and at least three fourths the odds.

Gather all life's treasures, the best of them we'll pick;

Alone, we two--and perhaps the gang--and a nicely muffled brick.
