Buying Bullets

I see my daughter as n feisty teen but of course any boyfriends day dream Ogling my beautiful only daughter, will bring on your instant awful slaughter I’m a man of a certain caliber A girl’s father needs no Excalibur A double barrel slug is in your sight Loaded ready to release her dad's spite My scope in focus and set for the kill A shotgun means I need no shooting skill So watch your amorous boyfriend action, it will lead to unequal reaction Stocking up bullets at every payday This despite only her second birthday

Dear James, this sonnet tells of the universal story of fathers and daughters. I do love a sonnet with a twist that leaves one smiling. Great one! Betty
