I like it. SO true!

Hmm, I'm not sure about the rhythm on this one. For the most part the metre seems to be changing, or maybe it's been too long since AP, but it works when you read it out loud. It's just that I don't think you have quite the parrallel construction that you were going for. (at least, I assume that's what you're going for seeing how your rhyme scheme is every third line.) The two bits that seem out of place are the El nino and the Navy fleet. The el nino just seems a little random, and the Navy line's inverted syntax just seem out of place.

I like the message it is though. Very real.

Haha, this is a very cute poem. It's got a rhythm of sorts, which kind of catpured me and swept me along. The last stanza made me laugh outloud. I think this is a good, lighthearted poem! Great job.
