Piper’s Prize

Pete Piper Packed an Uzi,
Squeezed the trigger, wasn’t woozy

Spun around within a crowd
causing noises, oh, so loud.

Clip ran empty, bullets spent,

Fed’ral Judge did think it fair
that Piper’s feet should dance on air

Now under daisies Piper Lies

How many boards would the Mongols hoard
If the Mongol hordes got bored?
