Saddam is hanging
He did some very bad things
Hussein, meet Hangman.
The clock is ticking
Today is Saddam’s death day
There won’t be presents
Join in, folks!
Update:
Saddam is dead now
It’s Tuna for Terrorists!
The cats are happy
Update 2:
Good point on TV
Remember Saddam’s victims
They rest easy now
Update 3: Geez, do so many of you have to be so gross?
Update 4:
Going to bed now
Comment moderation back
When Lair goes to bed
Translation: I turned off comment moderation for this post, and Lair Simon will turn it back on for me before he signs off.
I’ll approve all your haikus tomorrow morning.
Update 5:
Saddam is dead
palestinians mourn him
They are terrorists
Fox News has pictures
Saddam alive; Saddam dead
The picture is strange
Saddam is dead now
This will not stop violence
Never said it would
Suicide bombers
Are usually virgins
Hump away, Saddam

No dripping acid,
No tree shredder tears your feet,
A death too humane.
Swing, swing on a rope!
Much too merciful a death.
So ends the tyrant.

As they say in Oz
They don’t serve Breakfast in Hell
Enjoy lunch, Saddam!
Left obsessed more with
Bush maybe shredding paper

One thing is for sure
Saddam no longer able
to hijack Iraq
Need sign above gallows
“Justice facilitated

If critics ran things
Saddam would still be plotting
