The sour taste in his mouth made him spit
All he had to rinse it out was more bitterness
Reaching for a lemon sounded sweeter than what he was experiencing
That’s why it even surprised him when he told his wife, “This is delicious, dear”.
So they planned to divide the bounty equally once they opened this chest
Pirates they may be, but they didn’t try to screw each other over, usually
Lust for gold was tempered by what the others would do if they found out
It surprised them all when they opened the chest, and nothing was there.
That’s when the guns and swords came out…
Been promised that everything would be fine
Except that was never going to be true
That shouldn’t have surprised her
Rachel had grown up on the wrong side of the tracks
And no one there was ever able to keep their word, even if they tried
Yet this one hurt more than all the rest put together
Everett said he would always be there to hold her, to help make things right
Death had conveniently gotten him out of that, the bastard. She spit on his grave.
Being such an acerbic person
Allowed him to eat through most of the resistance he encountered
So it surprised him when she neutralized him so easily
Eventually, he found out the reason was she was caustic
Chicken crunched satisfyingly as she chomped down
Relishing the fatty juices playing with her tongue
It made her soul dance with joy
So it surprised her when Bill complained about her chewing
Perhaps he needed to be breaded and deep-fried
Yes, that would make him more palatable

Chips were tossed into the pot as the round was dealt
Amber looked at her hand and a pair of kings stared back
Reaching for her chips, she tossed in her raise
Dudes wouldn’t know what hit them since she had bluffed the last two hands
She was surprised when everyone immediately folded
