When the NRA dines a congressman,

Let the wine flow red. May delicacies

Of the finest virtue be spiced with the

Piquant savour of freshly fallen tears.

Summon a bowl of terrified children’s

Eyes, and belch generously before they

Are forked into hungry and grinning mouths.

Perhaps a pâté of suckling livers

To whet the appetite? And then they might

Pick at a roast of tender baby’s breast,

Lovingly warmed in milk, before, with a

Flourish, the waiter raises the domed lid

From the pièce de résistance – the cold, dead

Hands of those who pleaded for help in vain.
