--with a nod to Bob Dylan
Ecstasy of the shot
Barbie doll for some
Interchangeable parts
Three hundred million guns
Butter pecan on your mark
Buy a shoe a fishing hook
A cap a book of puns
How many deaths will it take?
Will the wind be fresh?
Buy a bike Take a hike
Watch a lightning bug
Until the white dove
Has a good night's sleep
Most wanted arm
Stick of Juicy Fruit sweet
Explosion on the tongue
Remember when Trigger
Was a horse? Gravedigger
Occupied Lethal recourse
Not denied Air-cooled fire
Lock-bolt desire Most wanted
Colt Tautology assault
