If Said could stone down

by Sarwar Morshed
If Said could re-stone,
His stone this time would have crossed the Atlantic
And kissed the apex of the White House.
If Said could re-stone,
This time it would have crossed the Moskva
And landed on the mighty tops of Kremlin.
If Said could re-stone,
This time his projectile would have covered
The proud Elysee Palace.
If Said could re-stone,
This time his litho-missiles
Would have circumferentially kissed
The Nerovian palaces of the hook-nosed Arab sovereigns.
If Said could re-stone,
This time the UN would have experienced a lithographic kiss.
Said, stone back, stone down,
Send us your litho-manna from the celestial regions,
For, your chip is mightier than all consumptive weapons.
