Should Be For Gun Control

Should Be for Gun Control

Subjects were considered to be highly correlated
And they could also be easily coordinated
Not only that both of them were hale and hearty
Were members of a different political party.

Would they straight and narrow try to walk
While being able to talk the very same talk
Being so nice as can be as well as kind
Also always having all of the voters in mind.

We wanted someone who would be our savior 
Not a political plumb who wants your favor
Willing to only think about each other's need
And with no one else have they ever agreed.

After all of the trials, tribulations and tedium
They still could not arrive at a happy medium
And then their faces were found looking pale
When we started to put both parties up for sale.

Not aware of knowing what a moral may be
Was perfectly clear we were starting to see
And according to political poll we all extol
Winning candidates must be for gun control.

Portland sounds like is in your neighborhood. Wonder what drought affects are on Crater Lake. Listening to Hilary talking about gun control. Someone has to finally put their foot down. Wonder who it will be. In some cases, the show must go on if you know what I mean.

I don't have a fascination with the wild, wild west.

This has been attributable to us older folks for some reason. The older you are the more hooked you become on history. Where are you in relation to Rogue River and site of community college where several people were killed?

It's hard to believe there will ever be an end to the fight of gun control.

Sounds like Gunfight at OK Corral. Why this fascination with the wild, wild west?

The Gun Control issue has to reach a head somewhere. NRA is main element causing the problems and their money supporting political candidates.
