A Boy and His Dad

 

Son," asked Lucas McCain,

"Have you done your chores?"

while using strong solvent

to clean his rifle bore.

"Yes, Paw," answered Mark

a good and honest lad

given much wholesome teaching

by his conscientious dad. 

"Always learn your numbers, son"

as he blew five robbers away

"and always get your lessons done"

as he wasted ten others that day.

"Always be honest, always be true,"

quoth Lucas while blowing some bastards to Hell.

"Work hard and there's nothing you can't do," 

he instructed as bad guys stumbled and fell.

"To lie is wrong, to steal is wicked,"

McCain opined as he split someone's skull,

then punched some cowpuncher's ticket

to set an example so his son would do well.

An industrious boy, Mark swept up the brains

and bones and gore from the Rifleman's gun,

before saying a prayer over sundry remains

and saying, "Gee, Paw, I'm a darn lucky son!"
