Down Under Does Something

Ukrainian soldiers will fight
The Russians by day and by night
They don't need sleep
Because they keep
Chewing Australian Vegemite

Well, we need to be sending it to them by the truckload, then! :-) Janice

That would not be necessary if Putin and/or the Russian people realised it is better to create than destroy! Aloha!

Will vegemite keep sleep at bay? I am sure you want to keep the argument between Vegemite and Marmite alive... :)

Lol but if they use marmite they'll certainly win the war. Tom
