The Deadly Art
I should like to try
the deadly art of bow and arrow shooting.
Not with a high-tech hunting bow
but with the sort of 'b & a' you might purchase at Walmart,
a yellow and red one with a rubber sucker
on the arrow tip.
I would shoot at a flying hummingbird
while riding a unicycle blindfolded.
Firstly though I would have to become a
black-belt Zen master the size of a sumo wrestler.
Secondly, but really firstly, I must write a poem
about the deadly but graceful art of bow and arrow shooting
which I think I have now accomplished perfectly.
