Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Being Responsible

Young Ralphie's Christmas '83,

A happy ending had been done

For this Christmas Story, cuz he

Got his Red Ryder rifle gun.

So Christmas night young Ralphie does

Try to fall asleep in his bed,

But he's taking his time becuz

He's got important thoughts instead.

As young Ralphie drifts off to sleep,

He thinks getting this gun sure is

Well worth his promise made to keep

Safety in mind with shooting biz.

Young Ralphie's determined that he,

Responsible gun owner be.
