Mr Gun
A Mr. Gun showed up at a Congressional hearing
Wanting to know the cause of so much confusion.
He had been hearing that he needed to be controlled
because he and others like him were taking a heavy toll.
There was so much talk of gang violence and mass shootings.
They said that the Government had to stop all the killings.
Mr. Gun could not understand how he, being just metal,
could be the cause of so much trouble or be so lethal.
After the committee finally calmed Mr. Gun down,
He sat down but was still angry and had a frown.
With all the capability that was crafted into Mr. Gun,
Without a hand pulling his trigger, he was as harmless
as the rising sun and could hurt or harm absolutely none.
There was nothing said in the hearing that made any sense.
So, Mr. Gun left the hearing even more confused and in suspense.
