The Prototype

Any schoolgirl in Afghanistan
Makes a target for the Taliban
God gave Eve a brain
But failed to explain
That a brain will backfire in a man!

Too many civilians, even school children, have lost their lives in the Middle East. Excellent limerick and I love the punch line, Rico! Hugs, Carolyn

very very tragic that they would kill off these innocent ones. It's sickening.

The God of the Middle East has much to answer for! How could it support slaughtering the quest for knowledge? Aloha! Rico
