Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

European Reprise

Ze French, they are haughty
    Kremlinites, vulgar, crude
  Le artiste charcoal sketches
    in the unvarnished nude  

  Brits keep a stiff upper lip
    Pointy-shoed Italians think they are hip
  Ukrainians fight like the dickens
    their stockpiles reduced to slim pickens

Joseph P. DiMino July 25, 2023 at 1:40 PM "Ukrainians fight like the dickens their stockpiles reduced to slim pickens," no mind for pretenses, in the thick of it all. Give them what they need to win or get out, and stop just making the producers of weapons ever richer. Blessings my friend. Gershon Wolf July 25, 2023 at 6:45 PM Give 'em what they need, Joe B! (Fat chance there, eh?!) Thanks, Joe D!

John Lawless July 25, 2023 at 6:11 AM as are ours Gershon. I believe the house, senate, and presidential advisors should all read: "The Little Red Hen" and "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie" Gershon Wolf July 25, 2023 at 6:48 PM --assuming that Congress-sapiens can read...

Judy Ball July 25, 2023 at 2:44 AM Another cute one Gershon. I smiled right up to the last line. Then it got serious. We have to keep praying. During the American Revolution they took a pretty horrible beating too but they won. God Bless, JB Gershon Wolf July 25, 2023 at 6:51 PM Ditto the British in WW2. Good point, Judy. Thanks for the reminder... And Ukraine has already taken a terrific beating, hasn't it? Many of its towns are in absolute tatters. But their spirits are willing!
