Shotgun Wedding
(just for fun!)

There they stood,
shining,
  side-by-side

Long-necked
double-barreled;
  smooth trigger-glide

Recently bored
well-oiled,
  ballistically matched.

Gifts given today
of lead shot
  and flannel patch...

I do, said they
and:  off a pair
  for open-season

OK, the theme
was weddings -
  did I need a better reason?!

Did you get a bang outta that one?!  :-)
