LOCK, STOCK AND FOUR SMOKING BARRELS

Lock, stock and barrels set

Crouched low on a mountain ledge

Target all set in rifle’s cross-hairs, ready to embrace a golden bullet

Fingers twitching, itching and rearing to trigger

No noise now, silent sound is all to be heard here

Quiet! This must be the kill of the century

Lock, stock and barrels set.

Lock, stock and barrels set

Lids twitch at hot sweat dripping down in relentless haste

Tension so electric, must muster utmost concentration

Shoulders ache, brows burn, lips patched and utterly caked

Yet, the target remains the utmost aim

Lock, stock and barrels set.

 

Lock, stock and barrels set

Will wait without wilting, royally ruinous it is ruining this royal chase

Fingers frigid at the endless wait,

For the battle cry from men in chairs wearing ties

Will wait, patiently in this burning sun

Lock, stock and barrels set.

 

Lock, stock and two smoking barrels

Rifle’s recoil racing round so sharp

Shock, wonder and utter dismay

As target still stands, then stops and turns this way

Quickly peeps through the cross hairs,  only to meet a blinding light

Lock, stock and barrels drop out of sight.
