The Carrier, George H. W. Bush Flotilla,
Now Anchored in the sea opposite Syria,
Rushed to Israel’s defense,
As war talk grows more intense;
Discreet moves ignored by the media!

Russia’s only Carrier, The Admiral Kuznetsov boat,
This week, into the Mediterranean it did float,
There for Syria's defense,
They make no pretense,
For the present, both sides have not the other yet smote!

So if they manage to smite each other,
During this current Mid-East encounter,
Then who would take Syria
Under their umbrella,
When Israel could render Syria – former!
