Gunfinger
.
Steve Largent of the
Seahawks, is one with hands of glue,
While Sugar Ray could
kill you, with a single punch he threw.
But now we have a hero,
who can intimidate a gang,
With nothing but his
bare hand, and a simulated bang.
.
Bill Emerslund and buddies,
were heading home one night,
When they stumbled in
the middle of, a gang related fight.
Now since they were
off duty, there was no single one,
That had possession
of a radio, or a holster and a gun.
.
The Latinos were determined,
to beat up on one lone guy,
Standing with a broken
crutch, as the boys went walking by.
They turned to meet
the challenge, bare hands against the knives,
What a sticky situation,
to escape from with their lives.
.
But quickly Billy Emerslund,
found a way out of this mess,
When he found a secret
weapon, an unusual one I'd guess.
He drew down on one
assailant, barking out commands,
The gangster dropped
his weapon, and quickly raised his hands.
.
Who knows why he surrendered,
instead of sticking Bill,
I guess it was the other
guy, he wanted most to kill.
Or maybe he was chicken,
or else he had gone blind,
For Bill's weapon was
a finger, it surely blew his mind.
.
So we close this story,
on our hero and the boys,
Remember Dirty Harry,
with his magnum and such toys.
So Billy when you're
reaching, in your pocket for your keys,
That finger could be
loaded, and de-nut you with such ease.
