Padre Has A Gun

Time travel- blown to kingdom come and back again

Mary Six Pack Pistols staggers through time portals drunk

Pretending to be a priest but she is not a mister or a sister 

To the old west saloon through double doors she glides

Drunker than a nun on steroids swinging rosaries from her side

Into a smoke filled room in rusty spurs and fake mustache

Presenting herself as a monsignor from another time and place 

Cowboy boots caked in mud with love she blesses them

Introducing her two guns from underneath a long black dress

It is a curtain, a robe, a nun inside a habit for blasting baddies

There must be a shower outside which indicates a storm

The spittoon in the corner of the room needs emptying

She feels the weight of outlaws in her midst

From here to there the crowd looks innocent 

But Padre knows better so shoots them all to death

To kingdom come and back again through the chest

Through time corridors we suspect they must be dust

Mary Six Pack says a prayer and drinks some holy water

From a whiskey bottle in another time dimension soaking wet

Then returns from there to here less sober and less blessed

Charged with a misdemeanor for impersonating a monsignor

A fun read Earl. Wouldn't time travel put to rights many a misdeed? Crazy lady is Mary six pack. Looking for justice methinks. That's her own version of justice.

Hi Chris, Hope you are having a nice day. Thanks for commenting. There is a brilliant English film called, Frequently asked questions about time travel. I hope you can find the time to see it if you have not already. It is a comedy but also makes very profound commentary on the subject. Have a wonderful day. Earl

Thank you Earl, thanks for the recommendation. A little bit of comedy goes a long way at the moment. Have a very happy Sunday yourself my friend.
