A School Kid’s Lament
Tune: Dixie
May, 2022
I wish that I were still unborn,
Then I would be less forlorn,
It’s too bad, and I’m sad,
'Cause I’m a little older!
The states have laws to protect the fetus,
But nothing to stop kids who meet us
With a gun, for fun,
So they’re just getting bolder!
So I wish I were a fetus,
Today! Today!
A mom who tried to do me in,
Could be in great big trouble!
But no one cares if I'm shot in school,
While NRA continues it’s dark rule!
No way, kids pay,
While meaningful gun laws molder!
