A Man of Might and Sleight

Arose a man of might and sleight
   From the Russian heartland
He gives the world quite a fright
   His name: Vladimir Putin

First he conquered Georgia
   Then he took Crimea
He's a foothold in Iran and Syria
   Soon he'll have Venezuela

He charmed the pants off Mr. Bush
   Obama fell hard for him too
He's very close with Donald Trump
   He'll lure the next President too

What's he after, you may ask
   Is it world domination
The West doesn't know what he wants
   ~ His strategy is flirtation

Aha, yes, it is interesting indeed to watch the professional woo the professionals. Nicely done.

Very, very scary is that picture of Putin on that horse. Have you seen the one of him on the motorcycle? The guy's power trip makes American Presidents' (power trips) look like Little League stuff. 'Bleck' it is, exactly! :) gw
