Bob, it's allowed -- you can "folk process" your own song!
And I really like your additional last verse
"dressed up in a soldier suit" "doggone cute" "Awaiting primed and ready just to use on me and you."
"Here at home our policies are tilted toward the rich With big tax cuts and a deficit that's grown to be a bitch. There's a plan to fix it and save both you and me: Spend it all and take it from Social Security."
Your tweaking of the penultimate verse keeps the focus on the war -- now I just have to learn it and your newer last verse.
It's inspired -- too bad it's inspiration still drags on.
