Gregori, the Tough-Chik

Gregori, the tough-chik Grigori Yefimovich Rasputin, the most randy monk there's ever been, declared chastity to be a sin and to his persuasion he did win of the fair sex fat and thin, high and low, rich and poor, on pinnacles or on the floor, but he went a stretch too far on entering the palace of the Czar. He used mystic powers to impress empress Alexandra, no less. To no poison would he tumble or even yield a tummy rumble. To do him in took many a bullet. My, that monk sure was no pullet.

Enjoyed this romp, Julian. Especially that last rhyme, bullet and pullet. You really pulled it off, so to speak. Chag Pesach Sa-me'ach to you! :) Gershon Wolf, Chicago (formerly Sde Eliyahu, Emek Bet Shean, and Rechovot, Israel)
