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
