It's 2 AM in the morning
And Mazeree~Sheriff is on fire
And what with no fore-warning?
Was this your desire Johnny Walker?
So Excuse me Mr. Alquaeda,
Please don't shave my beard
Mr. Hubbard sent me to the desert
Until I'm clear.
It's 3 AM in the morning
In John Ashcroft's study
He swears that he saw this coming
While he plays with his silly putty.
So excuse me Mr. Spielberg,
But I dont believe in Jaws
Could you pass me some more of that popcorn?
Until he's gone?
Little Johnie,
It's little Johnie's Jihad,
He wrote a fatwah,
He needs a Jihad
Little Johnny is uptight man
He needs a Jihad.
It's 4 AM in the morning,
And the Taliban are hiding
The CIA is searching
As we carpet-bomb their poppies.
So excuse me Mr. Bin Laden,
But could you show me to your cave
Cuz the bunker busters keep on falling
Let me in and I'll be your favourite slave
Excuse me Mr. Bin Laden,
But you've been naughty
and kind-of, obsolete.
Cuz little Johnie,
It's little Johnie's Jihad,
he wrote a fatwah,
He needs a Jihad
Little Johnny is uptight man
He needs a Jihad
For Allah.
It's 5 AM in the morning,
But excuse me Mr. Bush,
But could you set my passport straight?
My father came out of the closet
And I can barely masturbate
Excuse me Mr. Bush,
Don't let the evildoers pro-
Create, I can't be late
I gotta date.
Cuz, it's Little Johnie,
It's little Johnie's Jihad,
He wrote a fatwah,
He needs a Jihad
Little Johnny is uptight man,
He got his Jihad.

Its catchy with the chorus the way it rolls off your tongue " Little Johnie's Jihad" I could rock to that.
-
not sure
Strange write you have here poet. But I do appreciate a good read. Just don't really understand it. But I will give you e for effort. Keep on penning.
Edited on Sep 17, 6:42 p.m. because 'spelling'. -
Haha. Well done, I loved it. "Ridendo dicere verum" (telling the truth while laughing), as the Old Romans used to say. This more than deserves an applause.
-
intrseting.....you singing?
-
punchy punchy punchy. And I can barely masturbate
Excuse me Mr. Bush
you should wank lots, one in the hand is worth two in the bush.
love the moronic comments just as much
especially this one -
Its not easy being green... and obviously easier being mean... but... since I completely know what you are singing about here...I would have to say that when Johnny got his gun this time... he was simply pointing it in the wrong direction for it to have kept him safe from the political tyrants that got their twisted little hands on the boy. Interesting lyrics.

I have read your poems in the past. Your name got my attention. horus8 you have done some good stuff. Plus the word Jihad in the poem title got me to read this one. I liked the part about the father coming out of the closet.
Songs in poetry are not my main favorites. But I know alot of our poets here are song writers as well. I can not imagine Walt Whitman put to music.
I found the work to be entertaining as I am sure it was meant to be. It shows you have a wide grasp of what is going on in the world and that you know how to put it all together.
You did well to use the airplance background. It reminded me of 9/11.
I am happy to have read this one, another of your poems. -
Since I clicked it, I guess I should comment. I don't get into the song lyric thingy, but the title caught my attention. I must admit I like this piece. I like the satirical quality of it, since I love sarcasm so very much!...hummm I wonder why.
I've been gone from the site a while yet, like a soap opera when I tune back I see some things never change.

You don't get out much do you? Read?
Watch the news? -
wat does "fatwah" mean???
~~infinitus -
I really like this poem, I love the way that it is talking about politics but using sarcasm to do so. It is a neat little write, and I enjoyed it. Keep up the great writing.

Count my trophies, check the fact that I'm a published author, I have five records out, and am known as one of the most influential writers on this site and in fact in the underground poetry network period, and then look at your page and accomplishments, exactly. LMAO!!! So... You're barking up the wrong tree asshat. Besides, when you get a bit better at writing and a bit beyond your sophomore year in college you'll see the song is purposely dumbed down, because we're dealing with dumb people, point being check the mirror, and instead of writing cliche rhyming love poetry maybe you too can be a bit more political and a tad less GREEN. Action is everything.

I didn't ask you to read it, you don't see me reading your shit.
-
Yeah, well I call them like I see them. I don't believe bombing the fuck out of people or stealing an election shows a lot of maturity either mate.
-
Actually it's a song, that's why the links are there
you conservative ass towel, and if it makes you feel any better
I don't like your face, your name, or your mediocre poetry
and pompous toothless prattle either, so I guess
were both rowing the same boat up the ass
of media controled vegged out america
I just make more money doing it. -
I think the rhymes are poor and the message done in a not particularly humorous way. The rhymes straight/masturbate/procreate/date make me think you've been using the web rhymers and just randomly strung together words. There is no cohesion, no pattern in the way you string your rhymes. You go from talking about your passport, to masturbating, then to talking about a date???????? There is no sense in it all. I also didn't like how you ryhmed cave/slave and I didn't like the half rhyme study/putty.
This was for me, more of an unedifying rant than anything sharply satirical. There's just not enough content behind the angry shouting voice you used here. What is your point exactly? Eminem does the whole piss taking rhyming thing with a lot more flair and imagination. There is more to satire/humour than randomly stringing together any ryhme that comes to your mind. There has to be some kind of tight argument underneath it all and I couldn't find one here. It's jsut a empty rant against Bush and his administration. -
Liked the art work at the beginning. The poem flowed along wuite well, not sure of some of the terms and names, so I wasn't fully aware of what was going on behind the scenes here. Interesting read.
-
Interesting political lyrics...there need to be more songs out there like this...reaching out and creating AWARENESS!!
-
Interesting appropriation of Muslim terminology. Sayyidina's right that the word jihad has a broader meaning. Though if the message here is what I think it is, this is excellent. IE, A created bogeyman.
-
I have to plead complete ignorance , but this just went over my head ( hoping for enlightenment later maybe
)
-
I was intrigued by the the title. Unfortunately, I didn't really enjoy the poem/lyrics. They seemed like re-hashed left wing semantics. Not that I am the world's foremost conservative.
I did like the choruses and, as I said, the title. sorry for the negative critique, I will read more of your works. -
This was very interesting, and to me creative, I really liked this, wonderful job, and keep it up, best of luck to you
-
Back porch needs a little work.
ooohwee baby you rock and roll. for the genre pretty but I wonder what some of it means. thats art for you. -
Written well
Written well..
Be blessed,
Betty -
hmmm....interesting stuff. i'm a Muslim so i get why u'd think jihad is this way- though jus so u know- if u didn't already- it's a term used very narrowly and usually associated only with a violent act *sigh*. it's actually means alot more than that...
-
i liked the graphic you have there... it was kinda funny.
My favorite stanza was the one about Jaws and passing the popcorn until it's over. I thought that was cute. [well cute is probably not the right word... but it's the one I chose to use]
anyway... this was....interesting.

THis amuses me greatly. I lean to the left myself, and the American politics you criticize, you criticize reasonably well and with an air of dignity.
-
I am amazed yet again at the sheer brilliance that radiates from you. You are an insane genuis! You are working from an elevated level few can comprehend. You simplify complicacy and keep it raw as you entertain and educate. Diabolically delicious! Kudos!
-
Pretty funny lyrics here Horus8.. I have to agree it's not one of your best but still pretty much head an shoulders above others man.. Keep it up!
-
It's a song asshat, I suppose you would have to click on the link and listen to it? And the art, it's a statement on 4 dimensions, not 2. The difference between you and I. I mix words, with art and sound on a immediate high speed level. That's what the link is for.
-
not bad
This is far from your best (which sometimes can be sheer genius). I can't stand Bush, but this doesn't do much for me. The poem doesn't seem to be about him anyway, except marginally. Anyway, we don't always have to agree on everything I guess.
-
way better than my entry mr. shrub
-
Probably indigestion, or a clogged lapsnorkle
Good one, but the goat left with the Jackass,
and they haven't been back since I last
Seen URANUS? HUH, THAT'S ODD?
Uranus must be in retrograde? -
We were all sober once
Loved the line, "Poured Aqua Velva down the toilet/Just to help get me through the crap." You showed us all what writing through the pain means. -
i clicked in this because i read you when i see a new write.i didn't want to be rude and not leave a comment.i am not politically deep at all so i didn't get this at all.those that claim to understand it say it rocks so i will just leave it at that.
-
satire
enjoyed the lyrics to this song...it's hard to write good political stuff i reckon, but you've carried it off with ease.
i'm from australia and we have our own little johnnie here - it sounds like the same person!
all the best in these harsh political times (& isn't that all the time?)
hope your christmas is kind to you,
myron. -
awesome...a brilliant critique of society and leaders. wonderful work. -cate
-
HaHaHa, i love this! good work, very good work!
-
wow.. this is a very interesting poem. I was confused a bit about jihad but as i continued to read this-- my goodness your a genuis. This was a subtle brilliance I just didnt see coming. I am as well speechles and Im damn proud you joined my contest. Thank you for joining.
And I wish you the best of luck
trish -
oooo this is good. this is REALLY good. I am nearly speachless. One of the best poems I've seen in this contest so far.
-
i want a butt ranger but i'm the lucky one becuase i want mine to actually have a train of thought your poem...jesus your work is just there's nothing left to say but it reeks of you and i lvoe it for that.
-
I liked the picture but i didnt really understand the poem or song. I know it is about the war, so on and so on, but could you explain it better for me?*raises eyebrow* I am lost.~Daina
-
That airplane. This series will make a great collection when put together. Happen to be writing a paper on accuracy in reporting on the Middle East - not sure I could validate you as an unbiased source.
-
Spuna shirts? Yah, I'd wear one if you paid me. I kinda got this thing about wearing things with names whot I gotta pay for (which is why my clothing collection largely says "COUNTY JAIL")
-
dude it would get so big you would blow up phat
-
you should get some shirts made that say spuna on them, that would be tight, put some cool drawings on there and market them, like you do on ap and you could sell them online

Rocks!~!
Write what you mean. Mean what you say.
A timely little satirical song -- best song by a blonde "bimbo style impersonator" in tight leather with fringe. Three back up singers (let's think Commodores here guys) and maybe, the chorus ...hmmm....could we get Meatloaf? Dude rocks!
I have to admit I like Little Johnie's fatwah and his jihad (okay, I admit I had to go off and look up fatwah -- not many Islamic scholars in the neighborhood these days....not since the roving patrols of Homeland Security carted 'em all away, but we feel safer now, even though old man Weisberg says the Nazis did the same thing back in '39 - but that wasn't the same thing because we're Americans).
Rock'in song dude. Heavy thoughts. Celebrity cameos - Wow! I think you might have slighted Mr. Spielberg though with a typo and that's not really the sort of thing an up and coming Duchovny like yerself (tug on forelock here) would really wanna do? Eh?
Edited on Jan 16, 8:57 p.m. because 'Communistic spelling errors via radar'. -
Hmm. Good. Very very good. I can definitly see it as a song. A good song. I enjoyed all the ideas and points you brought up. How you show the bad state everything is in. All the screwed uped ness. good stuff.
