Hotel Inter-Continental - Kabul
This is a light-hearted poem of the "Inter-Continental" hotel that overlooks "Kabul" built in 1969 - that has had its fair share of attacks over the years
THE INTER-CONTINENTAL HOTEL - KARBUL
Welcome to the Inter-continental, this must hotel with a view
Journalists head for the windows, and take themselves a pew
You can see half of Kabul below wherever it’s the day or night
If the Taliban come be ready as they not half give you a fright
From there you get to see; Hekmatyar, Dostum, and Massoud
Giving Kabul whatever as whenever they were all in the mood
O' yes’, the Inter-Continental; it’s the best hotel for the views
Where; all the best journalists come, to give you all the news
Even admire the bullet holes in the walls' whilst sipping a chai
You take your chances coming here, really a case of do or die
Don’t dare book a function here when officials booked a room
Least the Taliban might turn up, and then it is all boom, boom
O' yes’, the Inter-Continental, it is the best hotel for the views
It has its own very unique history; and is forever on the news
It really has the best firework displays that you will get to see
But, as you are actually the view, it is not the best place to be
It has been a long time since 2011, which left 21 people dead
But; if you like a sense of adventure it is the place, enuff said
