Stop Sending Butt Plugs to Bahrain
by Marco Katz Montiel / January 11th, 2026
So please, stop sending butt plugs to Bahrain.
Bahrain wants no sex toys from Canada
Sent to Trump’s troops. They go against the grain.
To some, these packages might seem mundane,
But Bahrain considers them faygelah,
So please, stop sending butt plugs to Bahrain.
They understand that troops can still maintain
Fighting form, but stop that yada-yada.
Sent to Trump’s troops, they go against the grain.
Boys will be boys and sometimes can’t refrain
From showing off a bit in the show-ah,
So please, stop sending butt plugs to Bahrain.
And forget about trying to explain
This as alternative Ayurveda
Sent to Trump’s troops. They go against the grain.
Critics consider Bahrain inhumane
But Bahrain right now has lots of pow-ah,
So please stop sending butt plugs to Bahrain.
Sent to Trump’s troops, they go against the grain.
