Once upon a time there were two Gobis· The Gobis were adequately endowed with lots of phools all around. Ergo, they became Phoolgobis. Over time, the population of phools increased many fold and the poor Gobis were utterly outnumbered. The Gobis therefore decided to cull the phools down to size. This was not as easy as it seemed because the phools were equiped with weapons of maths destruction.
We should bear in mind that it was the morbid fear of Iraqi weapons of maths destruction that prompted the mathematically challenged GW to embark on his mathematically misunderestimated Mephistophelian misadventure. Weapons of maths destruction are terrifying objects. Impact of weapons of maths destruction can lead to copious blood-letting on balance sheets, ticker-boards, trade statistics and such like areas of dense.
The eerie silence that follows above named holocaust is partially responsible for the captioned silence on the Gobi front.

Twinkle
The noble Gobi. No. 1, has launched the first broadside with worse, er, ahem, verse. It therefore needs to be fittingly responded to in equally evil kind! Here’s some more verse for you!
Twinkle twinkle goes the star,
While Gobi laments about war
With weapons stockpiled
and terrorism febrile
the peace of the planet to mar!
Cheers,

Star is twinkling
The first rhyme for most kids - Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.
A cute video for you to watch!
Well here's what the rhyme can get morphed to prove itself to be contemporary:
Twinkle Twinkle little star
Turn anywhere and you see war!
Ever wonder the reason why
Look up straight in the sky!
In the name of religion
Fights ensued in different regions
The feud is never between stars
But leaders who behave like Tsars!
On one side we have Obama!
And on the other, the latest anti-christ Osama!
Some time back Bush suffered pain
From one Mr. Saddam Hussein!
Extreme views of the Taliban
Killed the Buddha in Bamiyan!
Don't know when the war will end
When man will treat another like friend!
A cute video for you to watch!

Cause
Rhymes with

caws
applause
maws
pause
laws
claws
in-laws
clause
und boss (in Rhajhanhikhantha-sprache)
Definition: Cause is the amorphous undefinable inchoate doohickey that can be conveniently, completely, caustically and confidently blamed for anything that can be assumed to be an 'event'.
This makes it a very convenient tool for use in the higher echelons of corporate ivory towers.
Pretending to be attempting to unravel the mechanisms of such a doohickey becomes a convenient justification for funding universities and 'research'.
Somewhat unsurprisingly, the same doohickey is also a superb excuse to mobilise opinion, organise resistance, agitate, make noise, shout slogans, damage public property, commit arson, and if one is the right sort of mood after breakfast, to kill and maim.
Quite a versatile operative this doohickey called cause. It symbolises the peculiarities of the sole surviving sub-species of bipedal primates that inhabit the wild nooks and cranies on earth - which is to say every scrap of dry land there is. Peculiarity is a severe understatement, though, given as, this particular animal's behaviour is characterised by what can only be described as an outright obsession with etiology on a great many occasions. Few other animals devote quite so much time to anything that is not concerned with eating and procreating.
Most absurdly of all, in an ultimately fruitless autorecurssive exercise, large herds of this animal are from time to time pre-occupied with substituting the doohickey for the event and trying to identify another doohickey that can be blamed for this doohickey and so and on so as to determine the ultimate doohickey of them all. Even more puzzling is that even without identifying this ultimate doohickey, they blithely posit numerous variants for it and congregate in astronomical numbers for no other reason than adore it.
I can only attribute such behaviour as a deliberate and utterly malicious attempt to confound the most learned and dedicated ethologist as would dare to try and study this species.
Whew!
