Dec 2011
She had a book of Sorcery,
that vile and evil crone.
She had no gift for Prophecy
or she wouldn’t have stayed home.
They caught her selling magic veils
and liquid in small jars.
(She was magically recycling
the contents of a mini-bar.)
She was caught with these potent potions
by the Saudi Faith police.
(Like the Spanish Inquisition
They’re not expected in the least.)
She was condemned for Sorcery
Her head forfeit to the Crown.
The price of magic veils just rose
if any can be found.
A Saudi woman was beheaded when the Saudi Religious police caught her selling magic veils and small bottles filled with liquid. Caveat Vendor
