The Happiness Gun...

Another weird dream, transcribed...


Poem Artwork

Built not to specifications,

Not intended for lackluster nations,

Built with complications,

Never worked up to expectations…

 

The size of a bass fiddle,

Hard to carry, harder to shoot,

But when it worked it surely was a hoot,

It made the “victim” happy & prone to play…

 

Try to buy it did corporations,

Not meant was it for assassinations,

Unless the “shooter” wanted the “shootee” to laugh to death,

For that then the happiness gun did deserve congratulations…

Ed:
An interesting concept, a happiness gun. Very thought provoking what the world might be like if we shot our enemies with happiness.

Hi Ed, Are you sure it's the gun that malfunctions? People aren't as receptive to humor as they once were... if they could only let go, learn to laugh at themselves, but then we might have a massacre on our hands, eh?
