Laughing Gun Poem by Supratik SEN

Laughing Gun

Rating: 5.0


This scientist you see
Almost got a Nobel Prize
She invented a laughing gun for free
Took everyone by surprise...

Carrying, she claims if you shoot the gun
Everyone will laugh, love and only have fun
She asks us to try, in neighboring countries of the world,
She is sure the gun, with an angry mob, would work.

It has to be first approved by all clever men
What a silly gun this is, before our wit and acumen!
Counter-attacked the wise, try it must we should
Let us see her craft if it's of any good.
If so much was invested inventing tear gun
That had over the years, made people flee and cry.
Why don't we give this d*mn just a little try?
Okayed was it for some willy-nilly fun.

There's running there a bitter angry mob
She shot just once, that crafty little knob.
Grounded and stunned to see what they saw
It turned into a stage with everyone in awe!
Their anger ran away they were laughing all in one
The silenced audience saw the drama with the gun.
All were shaking hands, the mob and the cop
Happy were they all from the bottom to the top.

Days passed. The lab where she invented the gun?
No trace. No mark. All over, all were done.
She was tried in court as the story goes. Fled and went on the run.
Her tears kept rolling on and on, without a tear gun.

Hush! She's now not alone, is with her little child
Trying laugh guns in the wind; are out in the wild.
