Molybdenum Janet Kuypers from the “Periodic Table of Poetry” series (#042, Mo) 4/4/13 I love this country. We should protect our rights.   Gotta love our military- industrial complex.   We gotta protect ourselves — I’ll use everything I can to be the one on top.   I know I’ve used you, but it was wartime, you gotta understand.   You gave me speed, You were light on your feet, but stiff as a board.   When things got hot, you stood up to anything.   and I liked flexing my muscles with you.   I know it was wartime, but I would have made a Japanese sword outa you, if I coulda put you together right.   And I know, I know, you say I need you for all my amino acids to keep my innerds running,   but I’m still on my war-kick here, ‘cause when it’s war time, that’s when I need you most.   People say that war’s no good, but I say you’re the meaning of life.   I love the U. S. of A., and with you by my side, we can shove a boot up their ass — it’s the American way.
