Satire on "Abou Ben Adhem"
Osama Bin Laden, may his tribe decrease,
awoke one night from a dream of shattered peace
and saw within the shadows of his room
Satan writing in the Book of Doom.
Recent successes had made Bin Laden bold.
"What writest you? To me it must be told."
"This book names those most hated by their fellow man,
like Stalin, Hitler, Attila and Ghengis Khan."
"And is mine one?" The Devil answered "no, its not,
you do not rate among this lot."
Then Osama said, "I have a Holy plan -
to annihilate the Infidel, to a man."
The Devil wrote, then laughed aloud
at an amendment to the list, avowed.
He showed the list of denizens of Hell
and lo! Bin Laden's name was there as well.
safecracker, Great parody. I love the original poem, however. Somewhere I have a thread going, on exactly what you have posted here. Check it out when you get a chance.
could you please point me in the right direction I can't seem to find it
Safecracker, I just got back in to A2K. The name of my thread is "It's sorta Emily" and contains parodies on poems. I'll try and find it for you.
and so I am, Phoenix
Not lost in the wood
And neither are you.
Roll on drumkin,
A tummy tum too.
Good grief. Where did that come from?
