S for shock that drops you to your knee,
T’s for Taser®, the brand name you see,
U’s for “uncle!” you’ll scream when all of those volts stream,
N’s for “Nevermore!” you’ll be ravin’ with a zapped core.

You couldn’t make it to the door.

Stun is what that ohm-made gun will do;
stunning electrons stream right through you.
You will then be quakin’; the object is your will breakin’.
Stunning is the gun’s purview.

S is for supine—where you will be,
T’s for tingling electrically,
U is for ungainly—that’s how you’ll feel mainly,
N’s for “nevermore!” you’ll wish when ex post facto sore.

Resistance drops; amperage soars.

Stunned, you fall down to the ground, confused. . .
bump your butt, and now it is contused.
At least it ain’t breakin, but your viscera is quakin’.
Stunned are you by the blue crew.

Stunning gun don’t make a shunt* in you.
“Stunning!” when we see you? Not the view.
You will have been shakin’, involuntary piss makin’—
shunting urine, perhaps poo.

The obverse of feelin’ good.
