American Know-How

by STEW ALBERT

Rape rooms never closed down
in Iraq
they were taken over
by Dubya’s Republican Guard

before their liberation
prisoners were raped
by the evil one
Saddam Satan, the Sodomite
he of poor novels and bad fantasy.

Now
under American guidance
all raping is
bible based
clean cut
administered by the sincerely smiling
onward Christian soldiers.

Mission Accomplished!
