Edward Ibeh Poet Sijo

Notes About The Poem

Guns Aren't Toys

Stay away from guns of all kinds, youngster! They're not toys.
Believe what you heard in the holiday film, "The Christmas Story;"
repeated over and over ..."You'll shoot your eye out, kid!"

L Milton Hankins April 21, 2021 at 2:14 PM No, they are not toys, Edward, as you say. Whenever I think of guns I almost immediately think of bloodshed and death. I wonder why??? Edward Ibeh April 21, 2021 at 2:53 PM Phobia of guns? I used to tote toy guns as a kid. Never held a real one!
