Thanks, re Rosie.

This republic is a photo-op.
Waiting to happen.

Afghanistan, smile.

Click.  Flash.

Oh, you forgot to smile.

Let me shoot again.

Iraq, will you stand-in?

Click.  Flash.

Dang, you moved.

Iran, Syria?

Just wait a minute,
I have to reload,
To get you in the picture.

Click.  Flash...

Hello?  Hello?

I think the satellite up-link failed.

Oh, you're still there, Bin Laden?

Hold on, Pakistan, China's on line.

What?  You resent our aerial bombardment
Of the entire area southwest of you?

Just carpet bombing with nukes --
Leveling the playing field.

Gotta get the bad guys, ya know.

Click.  Flash.  Thanks guys!
Aren't I the greatest!
