Short Sawed Off Poems

Posive
Oh you're gonna feel that
Be positive on all things
Hard to be when they
Sawed off your damn legs
Where'll you run to now?...

Sawed off iron
Has been lying 
For a long time.
It's rusted
Like my life.

We look into each other's eyes
Neatly laid out on a stone  
That is warm  ,
Waiting again , for the rain  ....

For many years we were mis lead by this myth
                The real one was a little short guy, kind of slow with bad eye sight
When his temper would flare, take a sip of hot stale beer, with his sawed off shotgun

The rebel who came to town
In search of inner peace

double-barreled shotgun!...

sawed off body parts as misguided soil
broken sharp objects strategically placed
yet and still she is one of the living

then suddenly........once upon a time.....she would have been.....
oftentimes too often enough too much........

Used to call him ‘half-pint’
  He was a sawed-off runt
He’d down his drink in seconds
  Then he’d burp and grunt

Manners had he zero
   He’d grown up down and out
Roughest patch was X-mas Time
   All alone, he’d bawl and pout

But then came New Year’s Day
  when this runt became a king
He’d toast the Strumpet, Fortune
  removing her g-string… 

In the morning he’d awaken
  and reach for his good luck
But he’d clutch an empty pillow
  ~ back seat of a pick-up truck...
