I didn’t realize people pack

When heading off to Nordstrom Rack

So I was taken quite aback

To see this sign upon the door.

**

You brought your gun to Nordstrom Rack – do you expect trench(coat) warfare?

**

I’d write a poem to deplore,

With cogent bullet points galore,

A country where a clothing store

In light of almost daily gore

Must post this declaration.

**

You brought your gun to Nordstrom Rack – did the name mislead you? They sell clothes, not designer storage solutions for your firearms.

**

But what’s the use?  Such consternation,

Just like thoughts and supplications,

Doesn’t alter this equation:

Guns plus bullets equal grief.

**

You brought your gun to Nordstrom Rack – do you think the gummint Is waiting down the shoe aisle to stomp on your freedom?

**

In truth your gun is freedom’s thief,

It chills and it kills and it bullies belief.

So please leave it home when to here you return;

(Your clothes will look better without powder burns.)
