Raj-ma-taj; Or, Meet The Miss Fussels

     Major 

Algernon ("Busty") McStrussells

     (whose re-

galia included three bustles)

     ran a 

bitch he referr'd to as "Fussels,"

      who the

Major fed sprouts he call'd Brussels.

     Not from 

litters of Labs or Jack Russells,

     with more 

cellulite tissue than muscles, 

     she was 

ever a canine who hustles

     to a-

void losing desperate tussles.

One Fine Day in Handustan

 

Meet Suleiman
of Handustan.

Sul's Baron of

the Caravan.

Sul's caftan's 

amaranth and tan.

Sul gave up flan

for Ramadan.
The clan Sul ran
ran Isfahan.
Need Taliban...?
Then Sul's your man.

Drumpf's Muslim ban...?
Sul's not a fan.

"There's no such plan

in Sul's Qu'ran."

(Best not to pan

the Suleiman.)
