"A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball, and others of that nature, are violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be your constant companion of your walks."
Thomas Jefferson 1743-1826
THE GUN
Tucked away and out of sight
It is with peace of mind that I know it is there
The gun I posses is my silent body guard
A simple guilty pleasure, I think that's fair
All shapes and sizes and of various power
My gun collection is a source of pride
I may only use them at a target shoot
But behind locked doors I need not hide
When the neighborhood screams in the night
I are empowered to have my gun nearby
Perpetrators will risk their lives
Should they cross my thresholds or even try
Once a shrinking violet, me
My gun restored my dignity
