I Love a Sunni Country

Don’t sit on your asses in gloomy madrassahs
For jihad is now all the rage.
The crowds are a stormin’, the Caliphate’s formin’;
Soon Islam will take centre stage.
Don't talk of permission, we need their submission;
They’ll all get a crescent shaped badge.
Hire a double decker, and head off to Mecca,
We’ll all go along to the Hajj.
If they mock The Prophet just tell them: “Come off it!
I think you are losing your head!”
Should this not engender a state of surrender
Then issue a fatwa instead.

Love it Dennis, clever and topical ...

Thanks Manfred - I wonder what Henry would make of this?

Some good poems I suspect.

Excellent Dennis . . .

I'm waiting for Sam Kekovich to do an "Is Lamb-ic" piss-take

Marty

I think you have observed well the triumphalist nature of Islam. It's a serious subject, some people might think that a jocular style doesn't do justice to the subject, however I'll pass on making that judgment.

OI!!! Lay off him Marty, the piece rhymes!!! (quite well too) ...

... well that's what happens when you have a meal of ham-burquas ...

My goodness you blokes are game! Don't you know this sort of comment is now not allowed in this country and worse still, if the Imams get to hear about it..............well it doesn't bear thinking about!
(Loved the poem Dennis, but please don't tell anyone I said so.)

The title is just a play on words. The poem isn't about any particular

group of Mohammedans. Thanks for the comments.
