A Rifle and Lipstick

Grant Hope #146

A rifle and lipstick
not the combination everyone expects
but you’ve gotta look good when laying down the gauntlets
I like to think that a beauty in the brush makes the animals less likely to scatter
though I’ll probably be too dirty anyway for that imaginative picture to matter

The solitary nature of fresh air
walking in open fields and towards the trees
lets me reflect on the coming shots and traps
but man do I really enjoy this hunting cap!
I told you! I may be a lady of the hunt, but who needs a decoy when you’ve got this doll of a runt?

Out to the mountain pass
with its greens and yellow and white grass
I’ll bring a bit of spring with my signature sass

I can picture it now
sight down the barrel
My charm is able to capture anything feral

I am prepared with gear and grit
I’ve put in the time, swearing, and spit
What it took to get here and get good
I’m so proud that I’m impressed
I may or may not be among the best
though I’ve become someone who is both ready and well-dressed

Off I go with a bit of spring
off I go with beauty and the sass
