A Poem From Prison

It has been reported that Saddam is whiling away his time in solitary confinement writing poetry and gardening.  It seems that one of his completed works of poesy refers to his arch-enemy, George W. Bush.

By virtue of some unprecedented cooperation between the deposed dictator's jailors, the U.S. intelligence community, the American military and an Iraqi prostitute (thanks Fatma, you're the best!)  a copy of that poem, actually a Haiku, has been delivered to Fraters Libertas world headquarters.

So, without further ado, I give you...Saddam's first Haiku:

Bushes
I used to fight with Bushes
Now, I must trim them

Why so many bushes...why?

Very moving words, indeed.
