I expect a reaction from Code Pink and Cindy Sheehan speaking out against Obaman any minute now.
Nothing like a Hellfire to warm up a house on a cold winters day.
Keep’em coming! I like a warm story on a cold morning.
Airborne Snowplow
Muzzy nuts roasting on an open fire
Hellfire’s heating up your home.
Turbans and sandals being flung in the air
and their parts are scattered everywhere.
That song goes well with hot cocoa. Such a sweet lullaby.
Doug, I thought you might appreciate this verse. And hopefully you can add to it.
Merry Christmas.
You know its Predator on the way
with lots of high explosives come to play
and all the observers all around
can watch the Muzzies really fly......
Maybe I should have completed it first -
The Christmas Song
Muzzy nuts roasting on an open fire
Hellfire’s heating up your home.
Turbans and sandals being flung in the air
and their parts are scattered everywhere.
Everybody knows insurgents who are missing toes
Helps to make the season right
Lethal drones flying high, flying low
will make it tough to get some sleep tonight.
They know a Predator’s on its way
It’s filled with lots of stuff to blow their ass away
and back at drone control they’re going to try
to see if taliban really know how to fly.
And so I’m offering this simple advice
to islamists from ten to ninety-two
although it’s been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas - this bomb’s for you.
ROFL ~ That’s a keeper!
