Welcome to My Poetry Site
We're Your Friendly NRA
"In case you're wondering who we are,
We're your friendly NRA.
Put your worries behind you now;
We are here to save the day.
"Feeling lost and insecure?
Feeling hopeless or dejected?
Come on down and buy your gun.
Your spirits will be resurrected.
"What? You want a handgun? Pshaw!
A handgun is just a toy.
An assault weapon is what you need
To make you feel like a really big boy.
"The thought of guns everywhere
Titillates us to the core.
We can't describe the ecstasy
Of having more and more and more!
"Your Congressmen love to stick
Their hands into our bulging pockets.
Call it a little tit for tat--
Just keep us off your legal dockets.
"Our fearless leader is Wayne LaPierre.
With every gun sale he's elated.
Some say he prevaricates;
We say truth is overrated.
"Gun manufacturers,
You scratch our backs, we'll scratch yours.
We'll make sure that all can access
Weapons that are made for wars.
"Certainly our Founding Fathers
Knew what they were doing when
They envisioned assault weapons
In the hands of all brave men.
"Join our 'well regulated
Militia' here in the United States.
We don't like our beloved Second
Amendment to undergo debates.
"We are doing all we can
To weaken all gun safety laws.
Please don't mention violence;
Every system has its flaws.
"We subscribe to firearm freedom--
A genuine right that's everyone's.
Here's one way to look at it:
Religious liberty for your guns.
"'Life, liberty, and the pursuit of guns'--
That's our motto, simple and clear.
Gun grabbers had best beware:
The NRA will persevere.
"So now you know who we are:
We're your friendly NRA.
You can put your worries behind you;
We are here to save the day."
