| War on Iraq poetry assault |
| 06.10.05 (3:27 pm) [edit] |
|
*Two new ones added 06/19/05 *Yet another three more of my own added 06/13/05 *Three more of my own added 06/11/05 Surrogate has proposed a competition open to all tbloggers to write poems pertaining to the War on Iraq. Feel free to submit your own and I'll edit this entry, adding yours and giving credit where credit is due. I'll even add pro war ones to be open minded about it. Enjoy and have fun with it. I find the limerick method to be easiest. There once was a tyrant named Saddam A dufus who was as harmless as Guam George Bush craved the oil Of his father's old foil So he invaded with steadfast aplomb Oh that wacky old general Saddam The prez feared he'd develop the bomb So he made up some lies Some phony WMD guise Encouraged by his own dad and mom We've heard all about Saddam Hussein Whose modus operandi was far from humane But to justify the war on Iraq? Surely you must think I'm on crack Such logic is on the outside of sane Give credit to that man, George W. Bush An invasion on Iraq was not easy to push When you must play on a country's fears Using nothing but smoke and mirrors While having Blair's lips firmly attached to his tush Iraq was dealt a big dose of shock and awe Donald Rumsfeld prepared to lay down the law "We'll find WMD within these borders" Said the man who takes his orders From a rube straight out of central casting of Hee Haw Impartial is media outlet FOX news That is if you subscribe to conservative views They backpedaled quickly into spin mode Spouting a "their people are better off now" load Once Bush's "intelligence" was exposed as a ruse The Abu Ghraib scandal in a nation of oil and sand Makes one wonder about the chain of command But perhaps even more shocking Than rampant prisoner mocking Is that some grunt had sex with Lyndie England!  Remember that villainous murderer named Osama? Who between sessions of wild sex with his llama Has seen the new face of terror Pinned on Saddam in grave error Now he's free to sit back and watch the strange drama Rebuilding contracts doled out to Halliburton? Awarding these contracts, one thing is certain Sure as a turkey has a gizzard Don't look for any Ozian wizard Dick Cheney's the man behind the curtain Do you really believe that Saddam Hussein Was part of taking down towers via plane? He doesn't have the smarts To even light his own farts Spotted some baked beans, a lighter and butane! Rebel suicide bomber blows up a tank One soldier is lost, a private his rank Left behind in his young life? Fatherless children, grieving wife For this he has the president to thank We all heard the tale of Pat Tillman A media darling, deployed to kill, man Ripped apart by friendly fire A cover-up drew his kin's ire That was sure one tough grave to fill, man |

Why do get the impression that you are not a diehard fan of the Man from Mad?? ;-)
The War in Iraq in retrospect was a mistake, maybe even a big mistake. But then we are looking at it from our rearview mirror. Once we are in, how do we get ourselves out? Do we have exit strategy as yet? Or do we simply recall all our troops within, say 30 days, and let the Iraqi and their "insurgents" duke it out themselves? Not a bad plan, eh?

I'm afraid I don't have an answer to that. I'm afraid protection is now owed until they're ready to take over. Let's pray that's soon.

I LOVE stanzs #4.
hard to believe Lyndie England and Jessica Lynch are both from my home state. One is bull-dog ugly and crude, the other is pixie-cute and has class. I prefer Jessica as an example of the "strong" WV woman (besides myself, of course) ;)

Some people gave her the photoshop treatment? I want to see that! Frankly, I think she looks more like a chipmunk.

Actually, they're separate poems, not stanzas of one long one. England deserves the hell she's going through. Lynch went through an even greater hell. It convinces me women shouldn't be on the battlefield, because if captured, they are subject to atrocities that would scar a person more than war does.

I wish very much that I could write a limerick. I would love to do more than just giggle. But, hell, it took me three days to come up with something halfway witty for your last post....
Check back about six months from now. I'm sure I'll have something! :)

I'm sure you could do it, but no one's pressuring you. It's all good. I know some of mine are lame and few of them have the proper cadence. Doing so would really be challenging!
