He has not fired one;

Be three, be four Clyde has six to lay you on the floor

Click—five shots, evens a score,

And when he does you'll find yourself undone.


You didn't count on this windy draft—

Your aim soars to the left—

It spoils your endeavor. You are bereft,

For squeezing the trigger is his craft.


You were anxious firing here and there

Clyde calmly draws his sidepiece

He is mindful and at peace 

Knowing you will no longer breathe air—


His bullet speeds, spinning in death—

His shot is between your eyes—

He strides past your corpse to surmise—

You gasp a final breath.
