Gun Control

Turns out that guns
lead to violence
and people killing
mostly just themselves
if the damn things
are just left lying around

However, tv leads
to vacant stares and
tv dinners
where the gravy
burns your lips and
the nuggets never get
warmed up enough

and if you eat enough
you can prevent gun violence
because your fingers become too
large to fit through
the trigger

Different form of gun control, funny. My husband goes to shooting competions and loves his guns, my son too. They like to "hunt" It is at least a distraction for my son and a way to get him to walk.
