The Lady and Her GunA Poem by James LeeMore monologue, based on my own thoughtsI’m a young gun with a full life ahead of me All the sheep and cattle run at me with their scrutiny What makes me tick, there’s no prevalent theory But the war in my soul is like a rogue pirate mutiny I must be tamed, I know just who can do it. A woman, a fair lady and she’s ready to commit The aspirations of other boys don’t make her soul lit She desires a pristine and simple man, as our holy lord writ When she’s asked “Why him”? She always asserts… “There’s something to him, his resolution, his hope for revolution, and how he quests relentlessly for retribution.” In conclusion, she loves my moxie and my hunger for creation. You can’t stop our train from leaving the station All my brothers, find your own companion There’s all these other girls, the Charlottes and the Shannons I kid, but it’s true. There’s plenty fish in the sea Except for this one since she worked so hard to get to me Till’ death do us part, is what she declared So I won’t give up, not until we’ve given Charon the fare © 2021 James Lee |
