If I Were a Carpenter

If I had a hammer and a sickle
  I’d pound Mr. Putin into a pickle

If I were a carpenter, I’d saw off his limbs
  then to a guillotine I’d nail him in

If I were King for a day, I’d tie him to my chair
  then plug it in to the electric grid and let him dangle there

If the sun refused to shine, I’d get him drunk on vinegar-wine
  and then I’d put him in a cement mixer ~ Laugh all night, I’d get my kicks, sir




   ~ Thought I'd live out one of Tom Cunningham's unpublished
                                  fantasies tonight ~

This is excellent ! If I were a butcher, I would chop him to pieces and feed a vulture!

If I were a pug, I'd smash his mug. Tom will love it!

Ha, ha! Love your rhyming comment, Robert! Hope Tom sees it. He may even seize it. Cheers, Gershon

I’ll take this for the humor it is mixed with a bit of anger.

Ooohoohoo! I guess it's necessary to watch the quiet ones. Please Gershon, don't ever get mad at me. I console myself by remembering God's gonna get him for that. What irony for him to be cut down by a God he doesn't believe in. Good job here ala Tom. God Bless, JB

Oh my. As evil as he is and as much as I detest him and wish him harm, it was jolting to read these lines, gw. Be careful that you do not let your anger fester, for in so doing you would be giving this murderous psychotic SOB some power over you.
