We have met the enemy, and he is us!
—Pogo
Ladies & Gentlemen:
We Somalis have finally met our Waterloo
We Somalis have finally gotten our comeuppance
We Somalis have finally gotten our rude awakening
We Somalis have finally come a cropper
We Somalis have finally run out of gassy alibis
We Somalis cannot sing anymore our silly Somali song & dance of alibi Ali
We Somalis have finally fallen flat on our fat fugly fartugly fannies
We Somalis have finally met the enemy
We have finally met the enemy of Somalia
The enemy is not abroad
The enemy is not our next door neighbors
The enemy is not the Amhaar
The enemy is not the Ethiopian
The enemy is not the Abyssinian
The enemy is not the Kikuyu
The enemy is not the Kenyan
The enemy is not the Gaal
The enemy is not the honky Kaffir alien infidel
The enemy is not the dirty dog of Christendom
The enemy is not the Yahuudi
The enemy is not the Shylock of world Jewry
The enemy is not abroad
The enemy is at home
Alas & alack
We Somalis have finally met the enemy
Man to man
Mano a mano
Cheek to cheek
In a pas de deux
Of Dance of Death
Of Danse Macabre
Ladies & Gentlemen:
We have finally met the enemy
The enemy of Somalia is us silly Somalis.
—Togo after Pogo
