Penance!?
Yeah! I was "7"! Conned my-Grandma into giving me my-Dad's
old B-B gun I spotted in the eves of her attic; she cleared the exchange
with Dad! He had taught me to-shoot, including gun-"safety"! Hmm!
Loving movie cowboy-"Heroes", I was mesmerized by their gun-acumen!
They could shoot the bad-guy's gun out of his hand and save the-damsel.
Well! That trusty Red Rider B-B gun was just the ticket for a wanna-be cowboy!
I shot-out a couple of-windows! Guilty! Hitting the base of a hanging lightbulb
in the-garage caused the glass to release it and "crash" onto the concrete-floor!
"Dead-eye!" Yes! Siree! "Dead-duck!" When I confessed to "Dear-ole-dad"!
The fact that I didn't try to-lie didn't count for much!?---Actually!...Not-anything!
One of those times I tasted the vile-bite of his leather-belt! Deservedly!-Again!
Temptation! An-evil reality!---If(?) I's do-ed it!?...I do-ed it, anyway! Ouch!
Reckon Sin!-transgression---demands-Redemption!...which demands-Penance!
Sure-enough! Reckon-so!---The "moral"?...Don't get-caught!---or...Confess!
Amen!
