Osama Bin Laden
With Appologies to Leigh Hunt
(Readers under 45 won't get the joke. Readers over 45 already know the last line.)

Osama bin Laden May his tribe decrease
Came home one night from disturbing the peace.
And in his tent was amazed to see
An angel writing on a gold PC.
Great, said Osama, looking awed,
Are you listing the names of those who love God?
Nope, said the angel, this database
lists everyone who spits in God's face.
Good! said Osama, list away.
But you'll have to list the whole U.S.A.
With their Baywatch babes and their rock and roll
Theirs is a nation without any soul.
Said the angel, Osama, take a hint.
Consider as I save and print,
the things you do in Allah's name.
Osama was never quite the same.
For on that printout, as I'm sure you've guessed.
LO BIN LADEN'S NAME LED ALL THE REST*

*It goes without saying that Jerry Fallwell and Pat Robertson tied for second place.
