Kremlin Postkard of Kandor



A missive postkard from Russia to Amerika:

Deer Amerikan elekted leaders:
Yuri headlight Magnitsky bad policy,
of swift monetary attrition Ru$$ian decision, 
have sanktion krashed our ekonomy

Das black ice spangled action
send our oligarchy Soviet markets
ruble roulette spinning

Such rogue demokracy konduct
make the proletariat people suffer much
in das Motherland
Why show such sub-zero Siberian love?

Can Supreme Politburo we
speak Kremlin kandidly:
Why must das trafficking bald eagle 
blow das trump 
so elektion help unfriendly?

Sekrecy is valued above all
in das Ural heartland
Kabal charakter is a klandestine
medal of distinktion

Thus unofficially, this solemn body SP
send back channel love
to our silver sly komrades
in das golden land of merchant liberty

We Bolshevik hate
that some had to double agent make
das gulag cell sakrifice

We Lenin love
that these Marxist martyrs embraced 
das dictator way of life 

May their kompromat ruble greed
be planted deeply 
in das hallowed halls of demokracy
Let more Stalinist tears of tyranny
be shipped freely
unto das twin shores of coin liberty

Sadly, propaganda fear 
has submarine surfaced once again,
between past Alaskan trading partners —  
Northern exposure former friends

Yuri czar truly
would yield Molotov easy détente bend
Allow Vladdy us
to make Manchurian Kandidate amend

From Russia with love,
we silo kisses send this Kremlin postkard to Amerika
Kandid spy picture of
our subterfuge gift: Cold hypo-kritical mass hysteria

Forgive broken translation,
due to heavy mushroom kloud interference
Yuri truly,
admire Khrushchev much 
such elekted kompassionate patience
of das unwavering flag treachery

K is for Kommunism meets Kapitalism. Ha, ha! A real romp, my friend. Kan just see Mr. Putin Kontemplating this one!! By the way, you know the difference between communism and capitalism? ---Well, in capitalism, man exploits man. And in communism it's exactly the reverse! There you have it, my friend. Best always, Khershon, aka Komrade Volkov (Wolf, in Russian).

Wow! Oh, my! I love the way you added the dollar signs; whoa! I have to go back and re-read this. What passion and fervor you always add; it exhausts me, and yet can I stop reading it? NO! It is always delightful, Freddie. ALWAYS! Thank you.
