Premium Member Alma Mater

Higher learning in Iran we know
Is sometimes about long ago
Their school's short on praise
It's name starts a blame phrase
Which is ''Ayatollah U'' so!

Premium Member The Ayatollah Flies Solo

  
	  Don’t feel sorry for the Ayatollah
	  Just ‘cos that old man has to fly solo

             Yes, he’s got to make a buck
             But he is not out of luck 

          They say he’s a fine amateur bowler

Twelver Bloodletting

Who believe to be alive,
on this earth after death.

Who crave fame, Rial or crown,
hard to be a savior of mankind.

Decisive fatwa from best findings, 
Grand Ayatollah blackclothed.

Mourning in the morning, 
a lot of verses are amusing.

               JFK, MLK, RFK all shot dead
                 Rabin and Sadat both shot dead
               Nasrallah and the Ayatollah slain
                 Reagan, Trump, so many others shot at

               Who aspires to international leadership
                  Death the price of membership

Premium Member In Shi'ite Eyes

     	In Shi’ite Muslim quarters
           No matter that tens of thousands of lives he aborted
               The mourning for the Ayatollah Khomeini
                 Region-wide, worldwide ~ knows no borders
               

         In Shi’ite eyes the Ayotollah was an inspiration
            renowned for kindness region-wide
                Patient leader of a fledgling superpower nation

Premium Member evil empire irony

When 1953 began
Iran’s oil annexation plan
Meant seizing our stuff
But the CIA’s tough
And installed the Shah as he-man
 
Since Iran’s parliament was dead
And Muslims brutally bled
The people rebelled
But what came next spelled
By an ayatollah they’d be led 
 
When exiled the Shah became sick
The U.S. was his treatment pick
The prick of this deal
Our embassy did feel
Where the hostage taking was quick

Premium Member Shock and Awe in Iran

                S H O C K 
   The President of Iran wants to 
       ‘talk to the people’
   Says if the people are complaining
       the leadership needs ‘go to hell’


         &  A W E --- F U L
   For his part, the Ayatollah threatens
       ‘to put the rioters in their place’
   A little birdie whispered in my ear
       ‘This isn’t going to come out well’ 



     Epilogue: Ten rioters dead - so far
