There was a young monk from Mongolia
  Who loved Buddhism’s peace, but was only a
      little bit dismayed
      to long for the days –
  When Mongols ruled from Okhotsk to Anatolia.

A craftsman from old Ulan Bator
made Genghis Khan statues by the score.
"Call me a fierce lauder,
but he's the best marauder.
We haven't marauded well since days of yore."
