He loves his gun

(for Bernard)
I dont think he loves anything under the sun
but he really loves his gun.
"people kill, guns get the blame"
he's considering Colt or Winchester for his unborn childrens name.
If he had his gun growing up there would be no whippings with extention cords
his step dad would have to leave him alone when he was drunk and feeling bored.
When he takes his gun off the shelf
he becomes a bad-&ss pistolero and scares himself.
'cuz when he is with his gun
he's like dirty harry, John Wayne and Charles Bronson all rolled up into one.
His trusty gun can put food on the table
and if he gets tired of this life: his gun will enable.
His guns so handy since everyones out to get him
the mailman, the baker and all dogs that nearly bit him.
Why just yesterday a sinister,blood thirsty, killer type, ganster ex-con
approached his car yelling and waving his arms....oh just a good samaritan telling him his lights were on.
an intruder!!! he takes aim and pulls the trigger with cunning and fitness
luckily the safety was on it was one of those holy roller Jehovah Witness (my bad he thinks)
creeps freaks weirdos and evil defined
their all out to get him...he knows he watches criminal minds.
The voices in his head feed him this first hand information
their so crystal clear when he ditches his medication.
The mean voice in his head tells him everyones out to get him in tandem
and if he was a real man he would just use his gun at random.
whirlybirds and aeroplanes buzzing overhead
dog catchers and census takers all want him dead.
Terrorists clerks at 7-11, cable man and unsolicited solicitors with junk to sell
the jig is up he thinks. did you think he couldnt tell?
His shrink is always calling his parole officer and finking
all those hypnotics, sedatives and tranqualizers really cloud his thinking.
burglars, freaks and stoners
BEWARE OF DOG! nah ....beware of owner.
He feels ten feet tall or maybe bigger
when his itchy fingers on the trigger.
His guns like a diamond but not so tiny
he polishes it daily. Its oh so shiny.
He sits and waits with his gun ready and cocked
a surprise for the next stranger who dares to knock.
(purposely leaves his gate unlocked)
an unwelcome enemy will get the bullet
fingers on the trigger...cant wait to pull it.
He's not that sad 'cuz with his gun every days a fun day
it will take alot to set him off ...like another gloomy monday.
He really loves his gun
its how the west was won!
