Twas Two Weeks Before Christmas
T'was two weeks before Christmas, And all through Iraq,
The people still worried that Saddam would be back.
The soldiers went out on their nightly patrol,
Capturing the bad guys was always their goal!
With raids seeming endless in the triangle Sunni,
We hoped that not all of Iraq was so looney!
We gathered the tribe of Saddam, in Tikrit,
And suddenly now they all started to snit!
They told of a farm where Hussein just might be
Odierno then called on our boys- from the great 4th ID!
More rapid than Baathists our soldiers they came,
And he whistled and shouted and called them by name
Now Delta, Now Rangers, Now Cavalry too!
On Green Hats, on Pilots, I need all of you!
Go to that farm and secure it right now!
Capture his ass- you guys know how!
Off went our soldiers under cover of night,
So stealthy, so quiet with no trace of light
While we back at home were eating our lunches,
Our boys on the ground were following hunches!
And then it was time for the raid to begin.
The first target came up -empty within!
Could it be our Intel was wrong once again?
No! Somewhere nearby is the wolf in his den!
And then, in a twinkling, camouflage torn away
In a hole in the ground did their quarry lay
Dazed and confused, right at them he looked,
Did the stupid old fool know his goose was now cooked?
He was dressed all in rags from his toes to his head,
And his beard was as matted as 12 day-old bread!
How the mighty had fallen, could this be Hussein?
One look in his eyes was to know he's insane!
Our boys got their man - how proud we all are
The relief in our country is felt near and far
A bath he has had now -yet he'll never be clean
Forever tainted with mass torture and his Fedaheen
To our soldiers we give our undying respect
You always give more than we ever expect
We hope you can have now a night with some fun
Your loved ones back home say- JOB **** WELL DONE!

BellStar, well done on printing that poem--I forwarded it and as you can see from the note returned below, it was appreciated in Iraq and the commander of the unit that captured Hussein will soon be reading it:
Saw your poem. It had me laughing. I'm printing it up and giving a copy to COL Hickey (1st BDE Commander, 4th Infantry) here in Tikrit. The crew that took place on the Op and planned parts of it will be soon laughing when they see it.
Respectfully, CPT xxxxxxxxx, Commander, Alpha Company, 104th MI BN, DS to 1st BDE, 4ID Tikrit, Iraq

Get on over and say it to the 4th ID yourself at the 4th Infantry (IVY) Division Association Forum/Message Board this page is linked to the site.
