A Pistol For Miss Prunella

A Pistol for Miss Prunella By Elton Camp At school, the psychopath blasts away A horrifying development of our day School children once were secure Nowadays, we can never be sure “Do something!” is the logical cry But is this the right thing to try? A gun in the hands of the school marm Has the potential for creation of harm Will she keep her weapon right at hand Against a crazed killer to take a stand? Every second she must remain alert So a curious child doesn’t get hurt Will her bit of training be enough When the situation really gets rough? If bullets in the classroom begin to fly The result might well be a child to die What if the murderer the gun seizes And then uses it to do just as he pleases Whether this is best I surely don’t know It raises some deep concerns, though
