#1 "The United States will now negotiate with terrorists"
What a world we live in.

#2 insisting that the Taliban first provide proof of life

They may send his head.

#3 was arrested in New York City on drug trafficking charges in April 2005 during a trip in which he sought to advance diplomacy

"You will be friends of the Taliban, if you just give us 10% of the cartel's marketshare."

#4 Mullah is my name, a Taliban fighter I am,
Wanna see my empire from 'Amreeka' to Siam.

Mutilating and stoning women is my hobby,
To excuse my actions, I have an international lobby.

Making IEDs and doing ambushes is part of my job,
Dangerous is my organization, more than the Italian mob.

My destiny is getting blown up by artillery or by a drone,
My favourite sex position happens to be 'prone bone'.

Tousled hair I have and a beard so shoddy,
I'm on my way, hark! To fuck a dead body!

- Mullah the Talib

#5 It was today, when I got my second jab,
Got a chance for booking, had to make a quick grab.

T'was an AstraZeneca shot, the very final one,
Thus my Covid vaccination, has been dusted and done.

Seems like I too have been bitten, by the bug of rhyme,
But exposure to my crappy rhymes, will scar you for a lifetime.

#7 That's OK, they can get a replacement for that 'last US hostage' methinks.

#8 Misread the headline. Thought they needed some sign of life from Biden. Gotta get some reading glasses….

But exposure to my crappy rhymes, will scar you for a lifetime.

I believe it is the ghosts of the copybook headings trying to tell us something. Perhaps, trying to remind us of The Ballad of the King's Mercy.
