The Criminal History of Babylon

Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon
ordered marinara with parmesan.
When he finished up his plate,
he burped and hopped a southbound freight.
Writing history can be a crime,
when you insist that it must rhyme.

Only wish 'Nebuchadnazi' had actually ordered what you came up with there, David, and that he had burped, belched, and expired.... Oh, well. Tough to rewrite history at this late date...

This probably does not come as a big surprise, but I don't know anything about Nebuchadnezzar. I guess, I'll have to go to Wikipedia.
