My Wise Country Cousin On The War On Terror
by Raymond Nat Turner
Look lak ta me dey
Could fite de wo on
Terr on de cheep, wit
Out all dem ol’ Genulz:
Genul Dienamic, Genul
‘Lectric, Boin, Lockkey
Martun an’ nem; hell dey
Don’ need dem damn Hell-
Fy Mizzuls—ebrythang
Need doin’, dey can do
Frum de 99 cent sto,’
Cause all dey needs is
Mirrurz an razurz—
Mirrurz ta trak de
Terriz, razurz ta
Slit de terriz wris
Minute dey see ‘em!
