He Shot His Cousin in Iraq

Jiwoo 1542 (Iraq)

Ballad
It was a Humid day
On the second of June
It was a humid day
In 1542

He was waiting with a shotgun
In his pant (ies)
By Isis' house, Iraq

To shoot Demitrious in "warm" blood
He dragged him outside
In the middle of the day
To eat him with an Ice Cream Sundae

About this poem
