But everyone loves a good ultimatum,
Delivered with zest and quoted verbatim.
The problem, however, is on the day after,
When one starts to hear the fast-growing laughter,
'Cause into a corner you've 'self neatly painted,
And have to deliver or find yourself tainted.
.
Now the prince strikes me not as the self-tainting type,
But more like the kind who believes his own hype.

Goliath is coming and he'll ring their bell,
And Allah help us all if free-for-all starts,
'Cause this will be war that's well off the charts.
