Thank you, Susan and Janice. I will post this one, which I didn't know was out yet. It wasn't modesty that prevented me, but an unwillingness to step on anyone's toes while they're selling the newest double issue. However, it was in the sample PDF, so I guess it's all right:



This Xmas

Buy your girl a gun, and show
she’s just as good as any boy
and knows as much as grown-ups know.
There couldn’t be a better toy

for putting paid to playground strife.
It answers every question asked
and turns into a way of life
for robbers who employ it, masked.

Nothing makes the pow it makes —
not chocolate-covered hand grenades
or handsaws baked inside of cakes.
It doesn’t glint as bright as blades,

but you’ll not find a stocking stuffer
to make your little angel tougher.
So give a gift that keeps on giving,
and separates the dead and living.
