On the list of the NRA's
National Organizations With Anti-Gun Policies:
the premier R&B crooners of the 90s
Boyz II Men.
What did these silky-smooth
perfect-voiced
men ever do to deserve
this irrational ire?
Boyz II Men is
the anti-hostility
the anti-
impulsiveness that leads to more
of NRA's "enemies"
than this citizen
or this nation
could ever care to count
so
NRA leaders
if you hear them sing
so buttery soft
and in unison
I'll hold you tight
baby all through the night
and you think about
not a beautiful woman
(or man)
in your arms
but your beautiful
shiny firearms
then that's fine
but just be aware
that some will find
your love
an ungodly abomination
yes even
Boyz II Men.
