Dorothy Parker Week Day Two

Frustration

If I had a shiny gun,
I could have a world of fun
Speeding bullets through the brains
Of the folk who give me pains;

Or had I some poison gas,
I could make the moments pass
Bumping off a number of
People whom I do not love.

But I have no lethal weapon-
Thus does Fate our pleasure step on!
So they still are quick and well
Who should be, by rights, in hell.

My first thought: Jeez, the Homeland Security guys are going to crawl up your ass with a microscope just for reposting this poem.

Imagine if I was a high school kid.

That was my second thought.
