This renewed version of the old classic "Ten little indians" was written shortly after an also renewed swedish one. And as we say in Sweden. One time is no time but two times is a habit. It all became the beginning of a theme and some of the versions have gotten separate pages.
Ten little Talibans waged war on West´s decline.
One had to catch an early flight and then there were nine.
Nine little Talibans were making bombs quite late.
One blew up himself real good and then there were eight.
Eight little Talibans thought they´d go to heaven.
One just couldn´t wait around and then there were seven.
Seven little Talibans did try some dirty tricks.
One just wasn´t smart enough and then there were six.
Six little Talibans had to hide out in a hive.
One stuck out his head too soon and then there were five.
Five little Talibans climbed out to go to war.
One were spotted right away and then there were four.
Four little Talibans knew that Paradise they´d see.
One didn´t see a handgranade and then there were three.
Three little Talibans were crawling in a row.
One touched a landmine with his beard and then there were two.
Two little Talibans were looking at the sun.
One didn´t see a missile come and then were were just one.
The final little Taliban was fighting all alone.
Unfortunate he found a nuke, and then the world was gone.
