Genghis Khan

I knew that my daughter was in the running for Genghis Khan.  I had not realized she won the coin flip, nor that the trial was this afternoon.  I*m sure the green terrycloth bathrobe will help her personal testimony.

Today I am grateful
For Genghis Khan.
He will be clothed
In my green terrycloth bathrobe
This afternoon,
Placed on trial in World History,
Advanced Placement.
My daughter won the coin flip.
She was not the only one
Who wanted to be Genghis Khan.
She is not the only one
Who finds Genghis Khan
Appealing.
Today I am thinking about
World domination tempered by
Religious tolerance.
I wonder whether Genghis
Will be found guilty
Or innocent.
The green terrycloth may just
Be the ticket.
