#7  Oops.

In Illinois, land of such riches,
Get shot and they'll buy you new britches.
There, even the snitches
Will always get stitches
By sending the bill to you... you vicious, vicious taxpayers.

"Your guns won't be shooting themselves!"
Reply from the hovels:
"Send self-digging shovels,
For we are not people what delves."
