I sometimes wonder if Royal Jordanian hopes the electronics ban will continue. Now it wants you to submit a funny poem.
For the carrier that trolled Donald Trump before he even won the election, now comes a new round of statecraft disgusted as social media satire. Royal Jordanian has used its Twitter platform to mock the electronics ban and now invites you to do it too. A new poetry contest has very simple instructions: it just needs to be about the electronics ban.
The so-called #electronicsban poem contest encourages you to submit a “funny” poem by April 10, 2017. I cannot find any terms and conditions of the contest, but your submission enters you to win two tickets to the USA.
Take on RJ's poetic skills and show us your best shot! Share with us your answers before April 10th.

If I have some time next week, I will come up with a poem to submit. Hey, why not.
My recommendation is rhyming couplets. At the very least, I do not recommend a “there once was a man from…” limerick.
The carrier’s previous tweets have cracked me up:

Just submitted mine: Roses are red. Violets are blue. Just because I have a laptop, doesn’t mean I’m gonna kill you.
