Saddam's Trial
SADDAM'S TRIAL
[HUMOROUS POEM ]
BY NANDLAL KANJIBHAI PANCHOLI
''Who brought me to this cage?'
Roars the dictator with rage
Then says in a firm voice
'I'm free and have my choice'
So I do not obey this court
Which judicial norms distort
{pointing to Moammad Amin}
'I hold this Kurd as my subject
And most vehemently object
His right to adjudicate'
'For Kurds are but naive and dunce
What do they know
About jurisprudence?'
'I crushed them,curbed their insurgence
subjugating them at once
Now this upstart Kurd has audacity
To ask me my identity?'
'Who gave him such authority
Asubject asking the king his name
Amatter of utmost shame!'
'Deeming this insubordination
As an act of treason
I can inflict on him punishment most dreaded
By getting him publicly beheaded'
'And how am I to be brought
Under the purview of this Kurdish Court ?
Where both the plaintiff and judge are Kurdish lot'
