Not about 911

Write about September 11th
Yet another ditty about 911
Bring out the drum synth
Call on the great one
Milk the moment
Crank out an emotion
It’s ok to lip sync
Flog beyond redemption
Try and make it pithy
Be careful not to be too witty
Throw in some pity
More easy money for the kitty
Say you’re at loss for words
You don’t know how to react
That it curdles your innards
Osama is a pedophiliac
Hunt him down
Hound them out
The response has to be full blown
Take the whole religion out
Two wrongs make a right
We have the might
We must fight
Why bark when you can bite
We never cared a dime
It never happened to us
There’s always a first time
Is there a way to look for a plus?
A time to understand
Link with an ampersand
The rest of the world & Islam
So we know it’s not just about some Emam

It’s pretty obvious
To those who care and feel
Nothing contentious
This is just a song for a meal

To sing about 911
Is just as absurd
As putting a jolly tune
To this bunch of words
