Crooked Smile was dozing off

On the roof of the saloon,

A little rascal followed soon:

"What 're yea doin' here?

The action's all down there."

"Likewise. Why would yea give up, kid?"

"My name's Raven!" He grinned.

"And that's my haven.

Do you want to pick a fight?"

"Then you're willing to accept?"

"You bet!"

"But... Raven looked up to the sky,

It's in the middle of the night!"

"Oh. Did I miss the setting sun?

Crooked Smile yawned.

And besides: Kid, This challenge's over!

So do me a favor and return to the saloon –

And do not wake me before noon!"

Raven blinked. "But... It's not even begun."

Crooked Smile roared with laughter now:

"You bet! As you wet yourself."
