'This is not just a gun . . .' A collective poem

I have an idea for a 'collective' poem on the theme of weaponry.
It's called 'This is not just a gun . . .'.
If you've seen the Marks & Spencers advert on the TV, you might get my drift.
For example:

'This isn't just chocolate,
it's creamy, luscious Belgian Chocolate,
ooooozing with flavour,
stored in oak casks
since 1492.'

or that kind of thing.
Only my first verse goes:

'This is not just a gun.
It's a [fill the blank]'

In the blank space please let me have some real, detailed, descriptions of guns, as available on the internet. Email me the results to gatehouse_gatehouse@yahoo.com & I will add them to this page, and show the the second verse. You can also add your version and/or any comments or criticism via the gatehouse blog.

(Work in Progress)

Words by Chris & Kemlyn



This is not just a gun,

It's a state-of-the-art,

customised, 'tactical' firearm.

Techno-looking?

Enough to make 'Max Power''s

super-dooper, car conversion-heads

strictly for anoraks.

This is not just a rifle

But a M-4T Tactical Carbine

with ergonomically correct pistol grip

and hard anodized finish for receivers

length 35.5 inches, Caliber 5.56mm,

loads like an M - 16
Federal Excise Tax included!

. . . to be continued
