I'm going to be the first to say that I don't like this poem very much. I'm quite shocked to be the only one. Is it the case that everyone here only posts when they like something? It seems out of place that everyone would be on one side of the fence.
It was moderately amusing at first, but I feel it degenerates quickly, seeking to be very politically forecful in a rude manner and decreasingly poetic at the same time.

Hi Franz:

I'm glad you can make some humour out of this, even though it isn't. It worries me a lot now that many of my friends are in the States. Just wondering what this world is coming into.

Take care.

Franz,
AMEN. I like this.
It's sorta funny but more than true. I think we should start praying, me and you, because it really worries me for what this world is coming to.
I hope God will help us once again and get us out of this mess Georgie has gotten us in.
God Bless America- we really need it.
Blessings,
Judith

The funny thing is, you label this nonsense, and YET, some of it is real! Yikes, now there's a frightening thought!

A war driven by economic greed for the benefit of a few? Say it ain't so (she says, tongue well in cheek).

Bravo!!!

This is good. Sometimes we have to let the humor muse take over, or bust!

I do love Hobbits, though. Maybe they can replace humans in this new empire you are creating.

this poem is a humorous concept interlaced with some very serious commentary ...
