They Happen To Rhyme

Bin Laden, Osama
and Barack Obama
  Their names happen to rhyme
  but the former killed the latter
      for heinous crimes

After the announcement I went around with 'Obama got Osama' stuck in my head for days, should have written something (maybe I will now!)

The road is wide open, Michelle. I'd look forward to reading it. Best wishes, Gershon

It is weird that until this poem I never realized their names rhymed at all. Wow! You have expanded my horizons with this one.

Well, I guess their rhyming isn't something that you one would walk around thinking about normally. (Shows you how 'normal' I am. Bwa-ha-ha!). :) gw
