Robert Pettit Poet Rhyme

Young Man Has To Change His Plans

Daddy won't let that man get away. 
He did the dirty deed; now the man must pay. 
In a very short time, the man will be a groom. 
If not, he will be facing certain doom. 
Daddy will make sure the man marries the little girl. 
Daddy has a shotgun, and he will pick him off like a squirrel.

Inspired by another member's poem.
