The kids’ section is ripe with possibilities: Osama-am! Osama-am! I do not like Osama am. Say! Can you catch me on the lam? I cannot catch Osama-am I cannot find him on the lam. Can you bomb me here or there? Can you kill me from the air? I cannot kill him from the air I cannot bomb him here or there I cannot find him anywhere. I’ll claim that I don’t give a damn Then go and persecute Saddam. ---
