                           Communists Didn’t Build the DeSoto

The tailfins of a rocket protruding from the sand
          We offer international standard rocket systems  
Out back where we stored the oxygen tanks
          in service in more than 30 NATO
Maybe thirty feet away from ICU
         and other countries (2.75’’ calibre
Thank God for poor Chinese quality control
         also called 70 mm) Operational on

Lots of countries in the rocket racket now
          more than 500 aircraft and helicopters
“Hi, honey; so how was your day at work?
          this rocket system is equipped with maintainable
The children have been waiting eagerly for you
          lightweight composite launchers with removable detents
And how nice it is that our children aren’t dead!”
          This rocket system provides full range of rocket types


The tailfins of rockets protruding from our souls
         offering extended range and terminal efficiency
I haven’t an answer for any of this
          Associated large portfolio of ammunition
The lines in italics are from a missile manufacturer's advertising.
