Say it loud and with love,
Give your words freedom whole,
Let them travel throughout,
Grow and form with a droll.
Be quite serious and hard,
Don’t give inch or a smile,
Let them wait for the point,
Even if it’s a while.
Humor, satire, scorn,
Handy literature art,
Drive hard points with wink,
Thoughtful impress, delight.
Gun, nine millimeters, clean and oiled,
With five loaded magazines,
Tucked in holster.
Baseball bat, regulation size,
Aluminum alloy,
In room corner, behind the door.
Large hunting knife, carbon steel,
Black-coated, fixed blade,
With mean serrated edges,
For best results.
Wooden stake, twelve inches long,
Lacquer coated, small chain,
In breast pocket, ready for action.
Running shoes, waterproofed,
Dark color, with no reflective strips,
Set to be laced.
Vampire sunscreen, SPF 9000,
Toothbrush with extra-long bristles,
Arm & Hammer toothpaste,
In a heavy-duty Ziploc bag.
Family portrait, names written on back,
With a love note, if possible,
Sealed in hard plastic,
And a note to self.
