The story of Ahmed
There once was a man named Ahmed
His religious girlfriend, he wanted to bed
He came up with a plan
He thought would work, man
To his girlfriend the next day he said
'I'm gonna tell you a riddle
Think about it a little
Answer correctly, I'll join your sect, see
Answer incorrectly, with me you'll have sex, see
It's one way or the other, no middle'
His girlfriend said 'Ahmed, that sounds good
Tell me the riddle if you could
But you I want to warn
I swear on the day I born
Stop bothering me about sex or I'll leave you, I would!'
Ahmed said 'Here's the riddle, ok?
A man was walking in the desert one day
He became very thirsty
Which is the worst, see
Can you find water in the desert? No way!
Now, this may sound very weird
But suddenly before him appeared
A structure filled with cool water
Was exactly what he sought, uh
Amazing! Was why the man cheered'
Ahmed said 'I know you have a brain
Where'd the water come from? Can you explain?
Are you confused? Are you
Ready to lose? And you
Ready to give me what I want to obtain?'
His girlfriend said 'You're gonna flip your lid
I figured it out, I did
The answer is clear
What's going on here
The man saw a pyramid!'
'I know that sounds pretty absurd
But 'pyramid' is two words in one word
A harbor platform is a 'pier'
Amid means 'surrounded by' dear
That's what exactly occurred'
'Ahmed, listen to me, you oughta
My Mom and Dad didn't raise a dumb daughter
The solution for you I got
'Pier-a harbor platform is 'amid'-surrounded by what?
Obviously, the answer is water!'
'Ahmed, can't take you anymore
A 'pyr amid' was what the man saw
Yes, so what? I changed the spelling
Listen to what I am telling
You, go to hell! I'm walking out the door!'
Dear reader, we've reached the end, do you feel
Finding water at a 'pyr amid' in the desert is real?
Ahmed, his girlfriend did desert
Did he get his just desserts?
Just desserts? What happened to the rest of the meal??
