21st Century Myth Fabrication-H

Once Jessica Lynch of states army division The sweet young soldier girl of twenty one Served in Iraq invasion Never fired her weapon Honored first prisoner of war woman. Wounded with bullets and in tension The doctors paid her full attention Knife wounds bullet none Only some bones broken Fake “rescue” shown on television. It was nothing but fake history fabrication Baking jingoistic cake for nation Bogus syndication War myth definition Jessica, a puppet propagation. ============================= Inspired by Reports on the net - in Monorhymed Limerick Dr. Ram Mehta Honorable mention Contest: Burlesque Boutique sponsored by Miranda Lambert

I remember this incident well, Dr. Ram. Indeed, the wool was pulled over the public's eyes. Did you see the movie "Wag the Dog" in which a fake war was orchestrated to take attention away from a president who was having an affair? Your poem describes the same type of deception. WELL DONE! Best wishes in Randa's contest (cool use of the monorhyme limerick form too-Bravo!). Love, Carolyn
