Kamikazi Krazy Karaoke Poem by Joe Rosochacki

In the small town of Sandakan in eastern Borneo,
Was a man who sung his last tune today,
Abdul Sani Doli,
He liked the way he sounded,
A sort of Borneo's Got Talent or Singaporean Idol,
anyway,
He sang so much,
he would've stayed on the stage from noon to noon.
But unfortunately for him the other patrons did not share his opinion,
Doli, only 23, was stabbed to death for hogging the limelight,
He wasn't a fat lady,
-so why was then his last song he sang?
And it was for good.
This I find hard to condone.

(KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia—Police say a Malaysian man has been stabbed to death by customers at a karaoke bar for singing too much and refusing to share the microphone.)

Across the world people are taking on the persona of Simon Cowell,
And others follow up as Piers,
The judges, some people that would just go away,
A woman in Seattle recently attacked another patron of a karaoke bar because the 'singer' had butchered a song by her favorite band Coldplay.

In China, South Korea and Japan people have been both shot and stabbed mid-performance over disputes.
So much for 'Vocal Hero vesus Guitar Hero' for today.
