Handling protests - the medieval way

A queen asked her king, "How come sire,
These protestors don't seem to tire?"
The king, sounding bitter,
Blamed Facebook and Twitter,
Then ordered his men -- "Open fire!"

18 February, 2011, NYT:Security Forces in Bahrain Open Fire on Protesters. Ge the story here

  2. The Queen then said -

    "A better solution, lest Monarchy fret,
    Let us go ahead and ban the Internet
    Better yet, let's shut up the Press
    Eliminate the reason for all our stress
    Act quickly, King, let's not later regret."

  3. Ban the net, if you will
    the jasmine breeze will waft in still;
    until the day, perhaps
    you wake up with those straps,
    staring at the jailhouse grill!
