“But we need to keep in our perspective

and carefully detailed in multiple stages…
…and because we’re not bright as a nation,
they kindly provided an illustration!

Great take on the prompt, extremely funny, and as far as cost effective goes, they could have afforded more trucks if they hadn't used all that paper. LOL Good luck in the contest.
