Best Poems Written by Gary Leonard Hammond

I Took a Random Shot

I took a random shot I must confess
A wager made, the wheel of fortune spun
That may be how I got into this mess

A desperado's last chance to impress
A single bullet left inside the gun
I took a random shot I must confess

I missed the mark by plenty more or less
I rolled the dice though blinded by the sun
That may be how I got into this mess

Each loss increased my longing for success
I should have stopped before I had begun
I took a random shot I must confess

I should have been a tramp with no address
Instead of seeking love where there was none
That may be how I got into this mess

I should have been a priest, then I could bless
Every mother's daughter or their son
I took a random shot instead and yes
That may be how I got into this mess
