ABC News ^ | 7/26/04 | AP

if you did not do what i chose,
i will cut off your toes
if you slip up or goof
i will drop you from the roof
if for me you do not lie
watch me help you die

[camle]

sure
"i yam saddam here's my will
all mine enemies I will kill
i can make iraqis all feel better
i put them all feet first into my shredder
i dig big pit and all i bury
i yam saddam - vote for kerry!"

[RockinRight]

The infidels deserve to die
The infidels I will fry
I'm still the President of Iraq
I lost nothing in the attack
I had to kill them to be a man
The infidels like Green Eggs and Ham
I do not like it Saddam I Am...

Probably goes something like that...

Saddam's air-conditioned cell in a U.S. military prison is 10 feet wide and 13 feet long, Amin said. Saddam is not allowed to mix with other prisoners.

Oh, my heart just bleeds for him. (sarcasm)

[Red Badger]

He's gone from BAD to VERSE!...

He is looking after a few bushes and shrubs and has even placed a circle of white stones around a small palm tree," said Amin. "His apparent care for his surroundings is ironic when you think he was responsible for one of the biggest ecocides when he drained the southern marshes."

Note the only time the media has any criticism of him is when the environment is involved. I remember that when he unleashed oil into the sea that was a turning point for some US media (if only temporary)

A lot better condintons than anyone on this site would give him.

Saddam's new career hasn't been limited to the finer arts such as poetry either . . he's making a name for himself doing commercials also . .

Let’s Keep This A Secret

I have been captured

My Regime has fallen

And my sons are dead. But I have some good news . .

I just saved hundreds

on my car insurance

by switching to Geico

[Kackikat]

Sadaam is now in prison, his fate not known,
But the court is planning to kill him...
I hope they do it soon, and he will be gone.
For all his deeds Sadaam's life goes dim,
May the families he hurt be comforted along.

I see Sadaam with a noose around his neck,
his life ebbing away as the sun rises high.
Or maybe the firing line of rifles in check;
Ten or so descendents of Sadaam's victims nigh.
They are the squad to bring justice, let it fly!

A little poem of my own for the old Dictator!

The Saddam energizer bunny just keeps on going and going and . .

[Gucho]

I am inclined to believe the poets on this post would put Saddam to shame :-)

[Our man in washington]

Maybe he writes Haiku:

Uday and Qusay
They could run but could not hide.
Did they get Virgins?


Invading Kuwait
Thought I was like Saladin
What's with my army?

[Red Badger]

SADDAM I AM!
SADDAM I AM!
YOU MUST LIKE ME!
SADDAM I AM!
YOU MUST LIKE ME IN A RAGE!
YOU MUST LIKE ME IN A CAGE!
YOU MUST LIKE ME IN A BOX!
YOU MUST LIKE ME IN BERGER'S SOX!
SADDAM I AM!
SADDAM I AM!
....

"Amin had little to report on Saddam's poetry. "One of the poems is about George Bush, but I had no time to read it," Amin said"

A John Donne, he ain't.

[Onelifetogive]

What's with all of this rhyming???

Modern poetry doesn't rhyme. He, no doubt, writes like this:

Spider Hole!

dreary....
my palace....
infidel soldier....
captured....
Sad...damn!

Oh that's for sure.

If only Jabba the Hut (i.e. Michael Moore) had known he could have included some of Saddam's thoughtful poetry in his film showing what a sensitive and loving guy he really is. I'm mean contrast that with President Bush who probably doesn't even write poetry at all. Oh well, at least it more material for his next "documentary."

Mikey needs a job and start working out.
