Leave it to our military. Even when the times get scary
they will keep their sense of humor not to mention starting rumors.
Ford and Chevy, Chrysler too are suffering. They need a new
market for their cars unsold so they’ve devised a plan that’s bold.
They’ll combine parts from the three and market new mobility
for the people of Iraq. Pay upfront, no money back.
Soon they’ll have large traffic jams. No license needed, no exams,
and when they finally reach this stage they’ll shoot each other in road rage.
Freedom will at last arrive just like we have on our daily drive
with the added benefit, don’t forget… they’re now driving a large target!
We’ll make money, don’t you see, and spread our brand of democracy.
We can at last claim success and get ourselves out of that mess!

this is great, I just love it. so now you see why I'm not going to enter.. my sense of humor is lacking for this pic.. trust me on that.. truth lots of it.. sarcasm and funny are the same as far as I'm concerned when it comes to humor.. I think that I'll leave the humor to the people who are better at writing it than me.
good luck in the contest my lover
