What a Difference a Letter Makes
What a Difference One Letter Makes
By Elton Camp
Now that Osama is dead, this story can safely be related
About a man who the terrorist leader thoroughly hated
It was online this man decided he would put his views
So others could read and react to them as they choose
He opined that Obama was evil, fanatical and ugly too
And that anyone who killed him did a service so true
Obama was responsible for the World Trade Center
And that into death and hell that man should enter
The outraged writer then, in detail, continued to relate
What pleasure it would bring him, Obama to assassinate
“If the opportunity should ever happen to come around,
It would so delight me to shoot Obama to the ground.”
Before very long, his writing the Secret Service found
And so to his house one evening they came around
“All right, you have really messed up big this time.
To threaten to assassinate the president is a crime.”
His innocence the writer began to protest and to yell
In fact, he was only guilty of being unable to spell
The difference between “b” and “s” put him on the rack
And he was led away with handcuffs behind his back
