Wrath of the Magnum (revised)

By Ablebody Peckawood

Woke up in a cell after a three day bender. The night before I hit a
police cruisers fender. I fought like a dog, when I fought the law.
Them railroading me was the final straw!
Got some dynamite and I blasted their shop. Inside was the towns
every last cop. It apparently was doughnut eatin time! 64 counts of
murder was just part of my crime.
Then I planned me a heist, I thought it would stick. Little did I
realize that it would be short lived.
The clerk pulled out a 44 and aimed at my head. I ran out of there with
nothing but a rap instead!
Had to escape the magnums wrath. I fled in a hail of bulletts and police
in my path!
I was arrested and they beat me down. After that I was put in a cruiser
that was going downtown!
I was booked and headed for a holdin cell. Where I got in a fight with an
injun that cursed god and raised hell!
Two days later and bounced into kangaroo court. Where cops cheat and lie
for a livin and it's all for sport!
The bastard judge had me bound and chained. Then asked me if I had any
final words to say? I said yes sir "I had every right to kill".
Now I'm sentence to death, then I'll be buried at Peckerwood Hill!

    Since nobody else will comment, hell I will this kicks ass! It is one of the best I've ever written. I'm just not in the "in" crowd, on this site.
