Annie Oakley's Ghost Poem by Practicing Poetess

Annie Oakley's Ghost

Rating: 4.9


Gonna get me a gun
And shoot me a man
'Cause he's given me more grief
Than I can stand

They'll say I'm possessed by
Annie Oakley's ghost
And when I'm finished,
That man will be toast!

Now I understand why
They sing the blues
'Bout how my man done me wrong,
It's nothing new.

My mama told me
To watch out for that kind,
But I didn't listen
Or pay her no mind.

For his sweet lovin'
I sure paid my dues
Gonna get me a gun
Here's one fight he will lose!

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
I am quite sleepy and feeling very silly, but I decided to publish this, anyway. There is absolutely no truth to this; just having a bit of fun here, playing with words.

Just playing with words? It's very good! Watch out, you good-for-nothin' man - here comes Annie and her gun... Did you ever read my Calamity Jane poem? It's quite similar.

Thank you, Laurie! Sleepy or not, now I must read Calamity Jane (hope that's the title, otherwise I'll never find it!) :)
