Freeway Shooters Beware
A typical day for me and you.
Ducking bullets as they fly through.
Take a drive on the freeway.
Always go armed. It might be today.
Someone will shoot at you.
But, mama didn’t raise a fool.
You are ready, armed to the teeth.
Your James Bond car is oh, so sweet.
Line them up and fire away.
This is how they want to play.
Rip them every way but loose.
Fire some rounds up their caboose.
Self defense is the name of the game.
Sorry, I didn’t get your name.
But, I sure as hell got your number.
Your car will need a plumber.
It is full of leeks and holes.
Looks like a soaker garden hose.
Think twice about who you shoot at.
They may be ready to come to bat.
They will knock a homer with your head.
Today, you should have stayed in bed.
