Ode to Usama



Usama, I just have to say

you’ve really come such a long way

From your humble starting day

When you dressed goats in lingerie



We’ve really got to hand it to you

You seized the day, you evil guru

You’ve stuck it to the USA

And made a name for you alway



Your bravery is clearly seen

Your courage has a ghastly sheen

Others die but you remain

To throw your money in the game



Jihad is the game you play

Others die for God you say

But Death is just too good for you

I quite agree … here’s what we’ll do



We’ll tell your friends, the Taliban

To hand you over, little man

And see if they’ve the nerve to die

For Allah, you Bin Laden guy



And if they don’t, that’s well and good

We’ll let them die, just like they should

You’ll shake your fist and then defy

Letting others bravely die



But someday, will come your turn

A bullet or a friendly burn

Perhaps a friend; one whom you trusted

Will want you dead, before he’s busted



The day will come, and you will die

In your skirts, riding high

Your Jihad will fade away

Just like your goats in lingerie
