Array ( [sid] => 55597 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => ARNIE GET YOU GUN, EH? [time] => 2004-07-10 12:08:27 [hometext] => This was written around the time when Canadian runner Ben Jonson flashed a piece at another driver after being cut off in Toronto traffic. [bodytext] => There's talk all around
That old Patch is in town
And I've heard people say
He's charter N.R. - A.

He's here to recruit
More fuel for the fire
Since the souls in Beruit
Now sing in his choir

Now, America's in line
And production is fine
It's time to expand,
To open new markets
- to bleed a new land

'Cus it's hard to imagine
The devastation to be wrought
From the barrel of a gun
That one has just bought

So the guy in the next lane
Is giving you jive?
Remind him his manners
Flash your .45

If he continues his folly
There's a thing you can do
Disabuse him, by golly!
Fire a round or two

If he crashes and burns
It's nothing to you
You're only emphasizing
...your point of view...

Stoney, 17 Nov. 1994

This one was a bit of satire on the lasting effects of
momentarily giving in to road-rage. We've all felt it from time-to-time;
fortunately, in Canada not many of us are driving around
with a weapon in our glove compartment.
