Sticks And Stones (And Glocks)
(But words? Nope.)

Though sticks and stones may break somebody's bones,
Only a gun will put holes in his head.
Words on the other hand, no matter how hateful,
Can't measure up to a spray of hot lead.

That's what Glock 19's with their extended clips
Are designed for, and sold for, and intended to do.
Who'll ever know what a bad shot you are
If one out of thirty can be traced back to you?

If one out of thirty is hitting the target,
Arizonans consider that par for the course.
Then the next step up the marksmanship ladder?
Can they shoot politicians from the back of a horse?

Bigtime gun fighters like Wyatt and Billy
Would be appalled. What's become of six-shooters?
The Republic of Arizona just passed a law
That decrees only Glocks are permitted at Hooters.

Gun control advocates spot one small ray of hope
That shows some Arizonans are no longer all talk.
A game at which their gun-toters excel:
From Alaska, it's "Russian Roulette With A Glock."
