[bodytext] => Adam 6 can you respond to a school bus stop And a three legged dog? I went 10-8 from a two minute break After dispatching a large rattle snake. It’s head flew off in a puff of smoke. But it kept right on crawling. Could this be a joke? I pulled up to the bus stop, With a wood line on either side. The bus was just ahead of me, All the kids still sat inside. I wondered out loud “What have we here?” Something’s not right, This picture’s not clear. I walked up toward the driver of the bus, But he refused to open the door. I said “I need to come inside, And needed to know so much more.” The grass did move behind me. I heard the screech of a little girl. I turned and saw her up a tree Then I saw a great white whirl. Nothing had moved any faster In my life time, that did not have wings. Then I saw teeth clenching the barrel Of the shotgun I happened to bring. I turned and swung the weapon, And in circles that dog flew. Thank goodness he held onto the gun And not a small child or two. The little girl felt safer The moment I had arrived. She climbed down from her berth And as her feet hit the earth, The dog let go of the gun It ran after that little girl. After both I did run AS my hands aimed the gun. Sinking into a snipers stance I knew I had just one chance To keep that girl alive. She fell down on her side And she loudly did cry. My trigger was pulled, doggy died.
