If Only Dreams Came True

Putins botched invasion is going south 
I think NATO should give him a way out 
Chocolates stuffed with TNT
And then set off remotely 
As he stuffs them in his fat evil mouth... 

Be music to our ears to hear him scream
But sometimes in life things aren't what they seem
I came to with loud beeping 
Was woken from my sleeping 
And sadly it turned out to be a dream...

Tom, I certainly agree that the world would be a better place without evildoers. He would do a lot better getting the Russian people to make things people want rather than destroying a neighbor and assassinating opponents. They should be able to make something good besides vodka.

Thank you very much Duke, he's the antichrist for sure, the man is pure evil, I feel sorry for the innocent Russians who oppose him but to do so would mean death. I hope the west continues the support for as long is necessary. Tom

Interesting... Somehow I think that when Mr. E for Evil finally goes, it'll be with a whimper and not with a bang. No joy in any of this. ~ Gershon

Thank you Gershon, the world would be a better place without him in it. Thousands have died because of him. Tom

We will be excited and happy when we see something joyful happening.... but equally disappointed to know that after all it was just a dream. How we wish that fool changes his mind or meets with his end.

Thank you very much Valsa, he's caused thousands of deaths and uses his own troops as canon fodder, can't believe humanity let's him get away with it. Tom

"If only...." Two little words that could've changed so many lives. If only your dream was reality, how many innocent lives would've been spared? I think i feel another Putin bash poem rising in my thoughts. I heard he's having surgery. Know any anesthesiologists who can be bribed in Russia?

Lol, don't think you'd have trouble raising a good healthy fee for someone to take that scum out. There could be things going on behind the scenes that we won't hear about for many years. Tom

If only it were not a dream but a reality, Happy would be the entire humanity, my dearest friend, Tom. Wonderfully written but ecstatic would be if only your dream came true! Let us pray, his body soon to decay. Blessings.

There will be widespread rejoicing when the monster is no more. Was sorry to see Kane, Pickford, and all your lads lose to France today. Such a disappointment. Hope all is well ~ John

Thank you very much John, for sure, he's a disgrace to humanity. It was a tough game and England gave it her best shot, France seemed to have the edge. All good here and I hope you are too. Tom

Tom, I can't believe that was really just a dream! Putin inspires some very dastardly plotting on my part, but alas, he persists. You were right to give him the fate you envisioned in your dream. Maintain the current level of exertion.

Oh, I couldn't agree more, Tom. Too bad it was only a dream! When I think about Putin, I come up with some wicked schemes, but he's still there!
