OSAMA BIN LADEN: WHY I’M CHAMP<\/STRONG>

<\/FONT>Thank you, Dad, and thank you,
\nMom,
I couldn’t have done it without you,
And thanks to all my religion
\nteachers,
Though my act was not about you.<\/FONT><\/P>

In my personal Manhattan Project,
Mohamed Atta was lieutenant,
But sans
\nGeorge Bush (who was sent by Allah!)
I could never have won the pennant.<\/P>
