A Letter from Gunner
When you recall a painful moment,
Where does it hurt?
I’m not talkin’ about the pain you remember
When you broke your leg
Thinking you were some sort of
Lady cowboy or something.
I’m talkin’ about the pain you remember
When that puppy you got for Christmas
In ‘97
Got run over by your brother
On his bicycle.
Where do you feel that?
If I hadn’t gone through that growth spurt
Earlier in the summer
Who knows
I’dve probably had to back over that poor thing.
-Bubba
It's hard to get sadism right, especially in a poem, but you nailed it.
