[bodytext] => Adam six can you respond To a school bus stop And a three legged dog? I went ten-eight from a two minute break Where I was being chased by a giant rattle snake. I saw it’s head fly in a puff of smoke. But it kept right on a crawling. Is this some kind of joke? The shotgun did it’s job But it’s brain could not hear, It left it’s ugly head In the grass a way back there. I pulled up to the bus stop, There was woods on either side. The bus was just ahead of me But the kids still sat inside. I wondered out loud Just what have we got here? Something wasn’t right, And this picture sure was queer. I walked up toward the driver But he refused to open the door. I surely wasn’t physic I needed to know more. The grass it moved 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 faster In my life time, without wings. Then I saw teeth clenching the barrel Of the shotgun I did bring. I turned and swung the weapon, And in circles that dog flew. Thank goodness he had the gun And not a kid or two. The little girl felt safer the moment I arrived. She climbed down from that tree And for home she made a try. The dog let go of the gun And chased down that little girl. Three legs never moved faster, In this rabid pit bulls world. I sank into a snipers stance Pulling out my forty five I knew I only had one chance To keep that girl alive. A puff of smoke ahead of me While the dog was in the air. He fell to the earth now silent, In his teeth just a clump of hair.
