I Have No Gun,But I Can Spit

Some thirty inches from my nose

The frontier of my Person goes,

And all the untilled air between

Is private pagus or demesne.

Stranger, unless with bedroom eyes

I beckon you to fraternize,

Beware of rudely crossing it:

I have no gun, but I can spit.

pagus - a Latin word meaning the smallest form of settlementdemesne - land attached to a manor, held directly by the owner rather than by a tenant
