If Robert Burns were talking Bubba'd guns

[bushmaster1313]

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!

 

[Cyrano]

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

You sure got your Wordsworth with that one.

Two roads diverged on a forum....and this thread took a rabbit trail.

And I the N frame did I buy
And that has made all the difference

There once was a Bubba from Nantucket...

Burns did write one called "to a louse" didn't he?

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.

There once was a Bubba from Nantucket...

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.

Waxing......

Waxing poetic today. Well done!

 

[rwsmith]

Haiku in the same vein..

Everything I touch
Intentions being the best
alas, goes to ****.

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.

 

[Tom S.]

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

 

[steamloco76]

A Haiku:

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