The others never got to Jane quite like tequila had. While sober one might think her plain, Jose turned good girl, bad. In a haze of salt and lime she thought herself a hero. A partying vigilante, but powers? She had zero. That never stopped Jane in her tracks. She thought herself quite brave. Jane’s friends disagreed with these facts, and wished she would behave. On the night before prom they drank, Each kid grabbing a brew. Jane grabbed her bottle with a “thanks” and drank the whole night through. The tequila was pumping through her veins and Jane felt strong, as she did a slurred rendition of her favorite song. Though the words were a bit muddied and she was quite off key the group all sang along with her, the crowd howling with glee. “I’m strong!” They stared. “And you know it!” The drunken hero rose. One boy yelled, “She’ll fall and eat **** They watched, all on their toes. “She’ll try and fly again.” one said. Tequila Jane was nuts. “Last time she slipped, and fell and bled!” ***** made Jane a klutz. “Get down from there!” her friend growled, grabbing her by the hand. “Back off man! Total party foul!” Jane squealed, trying to stand. But the liquor was too much, those the shots had made her woozy. Jane passed out, thus the story goes, of our favorite ******

The Ballad of Tequila Jane
The others never got to Jane quite like tequila had. While sober one might think her plain, Jose turned good girl, bad. In a haze of salt and lime she thought herself a hero. A partying vigilante, but powers? She had zero. That never stopped Jane in her tracks. She thought herself quite brave. Jane’s friends disagreed with these facts, and wished she would behave. On the night before prom they drank, Each kid grabbing a brew. Jane grabbed her bottle with a “thanks” and drank the whole night through. The tequila was pumping through her veins and Jane felt strong, as she did a slurred rendition of her favorite song. Though the words were a bit muddied and she was quite off key the group all sang along with her, the crowd howling with glee. “I’m strong!” They stared. “And you know it!” The drunken hero rose.
