Holiday Bomber

What happened in the sky over Detroit Christmas Day,
might have very clearly, turned out a very different way
When a man from London, with a bomb in his pants
how he got on that plane, just who can say,

Another passenger though, spoiled his plan,
who saw a blanket on fire, that covered that man
He sprang into action, without even a thought,
to try and stop a terrorist, to do what he can,

He tried to put out the fire, little did he know,
the terrorist had a bomb, he was trying to blow
He snatched the terrorist, out of his seat,
and pulled him out into the center of the row,

The man put up a fight, when his bomb wouldn't blow,
the passenger put him in a chock hold and wouldn't let go
The Pilot landed the plane, without a delay,
the passenger in twenty J is now called a Hero.

You know, Taz, I barely followed the details this story. Is this what actually happened? Geeez,and the terrorists are praising this guy for his actions? If I were his "teacher" I'd tell hiim "back to class, you moron."

Did you see his underwear televised for the world to see? I think the terriorist must have been like some of these that are shown on tv shows like COPS where the law is after bad boys and the stupid things that thes bad boys do. He must have been eaten up with stupid. Like the way that you presented the topic. Keep the creative poem flowing. Sara
