Mohammed Atta Hijacks Rudolph

Mr. Bones is decorating
the Christmas tree
with pictures

of the war,
pictures of the dead,
Fallujah, Baghdad, Basra,

Tikrit, Mosul, Babylonia,
Texas, California, New York,
every state of the Union.

On top
of the tree,
he’s not putting a star,

or an angel,
or a Santa Claus,
no, sir, he’s putting

Rudolph up there,
with his nose displaying a red alert
as he slams into the White House

delivering Dubya’s present---
two army uniforms
for his daughters!
