Britney Spears Joins the Taliban

Yesterday, I asked people on the social networking and micro-blogging service, Plurk, to provide ten random words for me to incorporate into a poem. The resulting poem was created by using these given words in tandem with a subject matter familiar to most people. This being Britney Spears, the rather irritating and over exposed pop singer. Each of the ten words in the poem are highlighted by a link to the Plurk profile of the person who provided the word.

Britney Spears

Scene: A Britney Spears spokesman at a press conference.

“It is with the greatest of confuddlements
That I announce some shocking and terribly grave news.
Ladies – ladies and gentleman – BBC and Fox -
Britney Spears has joined the Taliban.

Intelligence says, she’s renamed herself
‘Britney Bin Boobs‘, inducing much discombobulation.
The Spear’s family is understandably crushed
And have been looking up Waziristan on Google Earth
Vile place!

Apparently a golden dodecahedron
Worth many millions of dollars,
Now known as fake, attracted her eye, cunningly
Drawing her in.
No one knows as yet what Jihadi plans she has
In retaliation for the constant mockery
During hair follicle prestidigitation
Last year.”

Yes. There are 9 linked words in the poem. I am ashamed to admit I forgot to include the 10th.
Feel free to add me if you are also a member of Plurk.
