a boy a man
i don't understand

came into my house tonight
'cause i don't lock the door's at night
for my dad
if it be had
anyway
here's what i had to say...

"got a 357 pointed at your head
got a winchester 73
coked & loaded
which wouod you like
your head or you knee's"

man did he turn and flees

both were there
but no bullets
just the threat would do it

Scary! Hmm, I wonder would you have said the same thing if the intruder had been a beautiful 26yr. old lady with big ... eyes and a pouty mouth and mini skirted great body? Hahahaha! Write a poem about that!

Personally I would have taken my head,
Gone fast, no pain, just the microsecond of dread,
Where Ed would see the bullet thread its way to my brain, already dead...

Peace, bro' and no real shooting or you will be sharing a cell with your kid...writing poetry from inside is not a nice way to do so...Ed & Rufuz (but then again you do live in Texas, where they would probably give you a medal for shooting someone in your home!)
