15 Guns

15 guns, And what do you get? Not much older, And always in debt. No sainthood with Peter, That won't do! And I forgot to tie, My other shoe! I woke up one morning, A bout half past nine. No change for coffee, Didn't have a dime! Peter if you're a saint, Why don't you know? Those 15 guns, Can't put on a show! 15 guns, And what do you get? I owe my soul, To the gun owners show!

Interesting angle. Certainly never thought of applying a little common-sense 'cost-benefit analysis to gun purchases! :) gw

Try singing the poem to the song, "Fifteen tons". This was a response to the recent school shooting.
