Bullet Below Her Breast (Missed...Udderly) Poem by David Whalen

Sad, Saggy Saga

Ninety three year old lady,
sad and bereft
By her beloved husband’s
untimely death

Decided to join him
and no longer be apart
Twould best be done
by a bullet to the heart

To her doctor posed the question,
“exactly where does my heart rest”
The doctor replied,
“just below your left breast”

Gunshot under her left breast
Failed to set her free
She was admitted to hospital
With gunshot wound to left knee
