<b >Imagine The Saudi
Imagine the Saudi gentleman
With the eight year old wife!
Wondering what does he do
Yet to add spice to life
Picturing this his world
That kind of strange life
Why only 55,000 riyals
Then a seven year old wife
Over the next couple of months
His palace elementary school
How many young virgin brides
To appease the heart of a fool?
{In response to the API headlines for April 30,2009 Cairo-8 year old divorces her 50 year old husband}
