Two Times the Terror

I could tell by the looks in their eyes, They had evil on their mind; Terrorists with more devilish thoughts, Nowhere else on earth could you find. Victims of their thoughtless deeds Lay scattered in their paths; Cries if mercy on their ears Are answered with just a laugh. Destruction; Torture; Hazardous waste; Are tools of their trade. Promises with the devil Seem to be the contract that they made. Run and hide from these terrorists, Should you see them come; The pain they will inflict on you Cannot be undone. I must deal with their terrible deeds Each and every day; But from these four year old twins of mine You can run away. For the "Burlesque Twist" contest.
