You only own "A" gun?

Good poem, though I DO own a gun because I love it! Apart from all those things they are also really fun. And really really, rediculously good looking.

Great poem, I need to memorize some of the lines. Until then, when people ask me why I own "a" gun, I just keep telling them: "Because I can".

There once was a girl down from Heaven
Who acquired an M1911,
She shot it one day
And proceeded to say
"Where's my Slurpie from 7-11?"
