If Robert Burns were talking Bubba'd guns
Many and sharp the num'rous tools
Inwoven with N frames!
More pointed still wrong screwdrivers
Regret, remorse, and shame!
And Man, whose heavy fingers
Create Bubba'd guns forlorn-
Man's inhumanity to gun
Makes Forum members mourn!

You can tell he's a poet by the size of his shoes: they're Longfellows. (Ugh! Even I gagged at that one)

This thread reminded me of our house a week or so ago. A dozen pipers marching in and out, 2!!! haggises (or is it haggi?), a lot of scotch, and about 30 people I don't know spending the evening.
Two of my kids are in a pipe and drum band, and our house was the venue.

Who's Smith ended up in a bucket
He'd taken it apart
To practice his art
And now needs a gunsmith to un-muck it

Nothing Fact'ry Can Stay
Bubba's new gun's now old,
His tools' results it holds.
It used to have great power;
But not since the past hour.
His tink'ring was not brief.
So N-frame sank to grief,
As Bubba himself doth say,
Nothing fact'ry can stay.

The haiku master Issa wrote this, about that:
Everything I touch
with tenderness, alas,
pricks like a bramble.

There once was a guy name of Bubba,
as a child his guns were of rubba
then he got one of steel
and the woundrous appeal,
made him fall to the ground and blubba.

The best laid plans of Bubba smith's
Often go astray.

A Haiku:
A gunsmith not he.
Bubba tore into his Smith.
Junk pile it is now.
