This 5-7-5 about guns, A (Lady's / Ladies') Piece, has the correct syllable count and puts a lead-lender in the hands of somebody's mom's mom. Don't knock.

LOL, you best be knocking and not skulking around my Gram. Found out years later there was no firing pin. God Almighty, Woman! What were you thinking?

Good for granny. Responsible gun owners have nothing to apologize for. To each his/her own on this hot topic. Good luck in the contest with this entry. Marilyn

A nice prairie feel to this poem... speaking of days past and the routine use of guns for needed protection. In more innocent days it did not spark fear or angst the way our modern day news and views do! Thanks for a trip to the past.

Oh my goodness! And such a pastoral and calm piece of artwork. Who knows what is going on behind those cabin doors? Appreciate the shock value of your last line.

One suggestion: cookstove's
Best wishes!
