From Basra's greenery in the south to Safawi up north

Our wolfpacks pick the sheep off as they bumble back and forth
From Ninevah to Samawa, and everywhere in between
Prowl packs of deadly cheetahs that will pick gazelles' bones clean
From every corner of the land the Bedouin's great sons
Qahtanis and Adnanis, joining forces, fight as one
Like lions they will gulp you down, delicious barbecues!
Just ask Paul Bremer. He'll tell you if he's been crying in his booze.

On Corruption in Jordan

Hello and welcome one and all! !e&#1U NV14 #@ `aJ & #?.XR P1U
Wait, where'd this blight come from?
New price-hikes took us unawares,
As nasty as they come!

We are the world's crown jackasses,
Content to get the worst, e&#7 j M V& ,EF Gk& fl P[&
Men letting upstarts lay them low
Even those of noble birth.
We do as we are told, and know 2.8?7 #H 24 #?& =.$?> 04*+
we better not ask why.
Money is the master now e& S6 0& 0& #q 0:&
For whom we'll bravely die.
We're not the type to open our mouths
Or stand up for men's rights, 2.8H #4 r -& #?& #W tB%&
We beg our rights from errandboys,

So long live our Arab leaders
with antennae on their cars,
Who ride red limos while they plan 2.?.EH#; GE.C[E& 08& G.v jM. F
to snatch more of what's ours.
Oh wife who weeps in widow's clothes, e&#1:8; j.g& 0B -&

Weep on! For we are weak.
Weep all the tears of grief you can,
and let them soak your cheek. !2.8& G4 S@ #.?&#; y8?:4 #@
Our valiant men have gone forever.
What's to cheer today?
They pawned their sabers long ago.

Now any twofaced empty shirt 2@ #@ fF0$> *+ #g4 ,4#V?& GF

A thunderous barrage of memos all

Raising the price of kerosene
