Watch or Gun

An old Mafia Don lay dying in bed
And called his only grandson to his side,
‘I wanna you lisin these words that I said
And by my advice I want you abide.’

‘I wanna you take my gold plated gun
As a token you remember me by,
Ita sometin I keep for you my grandson,
Your future ita sometin I cannot deny.’

‘Grandpa, I know you have my welfare at heart
But I really don’t like guns,’ he responded,
‘Perhaps you could leave me your new Rolex watch,
It would be something by which we’d be bonded.’

‘You lisina me boy’ I give de good advice,
Somea day you gunna runna de bisness I know,
You makea lotsa money, have beautiful wife,
A biga house and a couple of litta bambino.’

‘But whata say you come home onea day
And find de wife in bed with a strange bedamate,
Whata you think you gunna den say,
'Pointa your watch and say timea up mate.’

Yo LindsayP,

Sicilian families like mine are always very close. We don't all play with guns.

VERY clever. I loved this. Worded very well.

Some people fall in love and touch the sky, some people fall in love and find quicksand.

If he had a Timex, He could beat them with it,
They take a licken and keep on ticken.

But in reality, that watch would be the one thing that could tell him, "it's TIME to move on" Or, "no TIME like the present to kick her to the curb.

Enjoy your sense of humor. WT.

Better be vigilant and "watch out for the gun!".
