A Clean Shot! Poem by RAJ NANDY

A CLEAN SHOT!

Don’t shoot those barbed arrows from
your tongue,
And riddle me with multiple wounds!
A pistol shot would be better still, -
A clean shot in the head would end me
soon!
But should you have a change of mind, -
Or should there be a change of heart;
Take a smiling snapshot instead, -
That way I shall keep smiling -
even after I am dead!
