Rhymes of the Times

He's a Terror

Osama bin Laden
Abhors all that's mod'n.
The items he craves
Are clustered in caves.

His taste in wives is eclectic,
But he's known to become apoplectic
If they serve him some challah,
Or mispronounce: "Allah."




Life's Not Fair

Prime Minister Blair
Is well aware
That he's twice as smart
As his counterpart.




Opening Statement

I concede that she bludgeoned her uncle to bits
With a three-wood, a lamp, and an axe,
But more and more often, the jury acquits
Once it's listened to all of the facts.

A witness will say she had threatened to mince Stu
And bury him under a tree.
But that is mere hearsay, and shouldn't convince you
Of murder in any degree.
