Oh my mother was frightened by a shotgun they say
That's why I'm such a wonderful shot
I'd be out in the cactus and I'd practice all day
And now tell me, what have I got
I'm quick on the trigger
With targets not much bigger than a pinpoint
I'm number one
But my score with a feller
Is lower than a cellar
No you can't get a man with a gun
When I'm with a pistol
I sparkle like a crystal
Yes I shine like the morning sun
But I lose all my luster when with a Bronco Buster
Oh, you can't get a man with a gun
With a gun! With a gun!
No you can't get a man with a gun
If I went to battle with someone's herd of cattle
You'd have steak when the job was done
But if I shot the herder
They'd holler bloody murder!
And you can't get a hug from a mug with a slug
Oh, you can't get a man with a gun
I'm cool, brave and darin'
To see a line a-blarin' when I'm out with my Remington
But a look from a mister
Will raise a fever blister
Oh, you can't get a man with a gun
The gals with umbrellers
Are always out with fellers
In the rain or the blazing sun
But a man never traffles with gals who carry rifles
Oh, you can't get a man with a gun
With a gun! With a gun!
No you can't get a man with a gun
A Tom, Dick, or Harry
Will build a house for Carrie when the preacher has made 'em one
But he can't build ya houses with buckshot in his trousers
And you can't shoot a man in the tail like a quaile
Oh, you can't get a man with a gun
A man's love is mighty
He'll even buy a nighty for a gal who he thinks is fun
But they don't by pajamas for pistol-packin' mamas!
Oh, a man may be hot, but he's not
When he's shot!
Oh you can't get a man with a gun!
That's why I'm such a wonderful shot
I'd be out in the cactus and I'd practice all day
And now tell me, what have I got
I'm quick on the trigger
With targets not much bigger than a pinpoint
I'm number one
But my score with a feller
Is lower than a cellar
No you can't get a man with a gun

With a gun! With a gun!

Estábamos caminando del parque de Guadalupe al cementerio de Moravia, y estuvimos hablando de la injusticia que es que una nena que no sea rosada y necesitada de protección no es nena del todo. Como por 200 metros anduvimos quejándonos de que nos vean como otro más de la manada, de que son las chicas plásticas las que casi siempre se dejan a todos, y que además son las que...
Pensábamos seguir cuando nos dimos cuenta de que en la de menos tienen razón. Nosotras buscamos a machos bien machos, no a alguien que nos acompañe a hacerse un pedicure. Yo no quiero a alguien que sea tan cuidadito como una mujer, así que un tipo x no tiene por qué querer que su nena sea poco coqueta.
Tiene sentido. Posiblemente el instinto le indica a los hombres a buscar a alguien décil a quien puedan proteger, que sea rosadita y calladita, y que pueda levantar con una mano y luchar porque no se la lleve el viento o por que no suba en cuerpo y alma al cielo.
¿A qué viene esto? A que bueno, si eso es lo que buscan, ya decidí que no tiene sentido que yo siga buscando. Porque yo nunca voy a ser rosadita y necesitada de protección. Si en mí buscaran eso, encontrarían alguien que estaría dispuesta a hacer cualquiera de las cosas que ellos hacen, y a caminar en barro, y que no se me quiebren las uñas. Encontrarían con quien salir, con quien estar, pero no lo que el instinto les demanda, así que yo me quedaré aquí sentada viendo cómo las gals with umbrellers are always out with fellers...
Hasta que mi príncipe azul con un instinto mal instalado venga a preguntarme qué hago ahí sentada y entonces nos vayamos a no tener que protegernos y a poder vivir felices un rato para luego sacar toda la chica que tengo adentro con el único con el que necesito tenerla.
Sí, este fue un campo pagado por mi lado femenino.
