It is enough to make one ill

the ease with which we kill

to protect how stupid

we feel

because we are so dumb

we trip over a stump

head first into a skunk

out comes the gunk(gun)

how about that gator

who lived to be fifty

till his size

made people itchy

how about bambi

who scared the child standing

and hence was put dead

with a bullet in the head.
