Priceless Antique Pistol Shoots Startled Owner |
| Inspect the silver inlay and the finely engraved steel |
| Rich carved ivory grips with checkered lines that you can feel |
| You’ll find it premature to call the calibre obsolete |
| When olden tyme design and modern treacherous-ness meet |
| A curio that’s slipped between our current laws, as read |
| Priceless as an artifact but leaves you just as dead |
| Craftsmanship like this is not displayed much anymore |
| And there ain’t too many gangstas shooting Russian .44 |
| To think a learned chronicler like you would be the one |
| Whose eye for detail failed to see him dusting off your gun |
| You must be the first in ninety years to meet his death |
| By way of antique archaic black powder pistol’s breath |
| Despite your recent injuries you must admit that still |
| It remains an elegant and stylish way to kill |
| Yes despite my injuries, good sir, I cannot lie |
| It remains an elegant and stylish and way to die |
