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.

So I think Qataris should quick war-bonds sell:

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.
