Mad Vlad Gone Bad

Read the room and wind your scrawny neck in, Mr Putin
Mark my words, the West are gonna stick their size ten boot in
No-one here has fallen for your good-for-nothing plan
So pop your pacifier in and get back in your pram

Heed the world, the Bulldog and the mighty Uncle Sam
We’ve seen through your bravado, it’s all arrogance and sham
You brag about your weaponry to stifle our rebukes
But you won’t get your way by simply mentioning your nukes

For that's some twisted logic just to get what you desire
When if you blow the place apart and set its bones on fire
The only prize that you will win, as far as I can see
Is a massive crater where your hopes once used to be

There’s bullets with your name on, any one could leave you dead
Should a sniper plant one in the middle of your head
Perhaps a comrade soon will smear your door knob in the night
But read my lips you cretin, it ain’t gonna be Marmite

There is another option that you could attempt of course
Which is whipping off your shirt and then cavorting on a horse
You tried that once before and looked a proper numpty then
I have to say you’re looking like a numpty once again

G'day Terry ... strange how this galoot enjoys hearing that he assigned death to thousands of his citizens who have been led to believe that the Ukrainians would welcome them to be liberated. I'll bet he doesn't make the journey to lead from the front - well said Terry - Lindsay

What I’d like to say about that nutter wouldn’t be printable here… and would probably put me on a KGB list. Glad you enjoyed what I did write. Terry

Enjoyed your take on the 5'6" man who pretends he is 5'7" . . . . .

I’m increasingly convinced he wants a ‘Billy the Kid’ type notoriety. At least that’s working out for him… he’s a notorious lunatic. Terry

Well said Terry, the only place he should be is on the end of a rope, I'd glady pull the lever. Tom

And the look on his general’s faces spoke volumes. He really does seem to be on his own… shame no-one seems able to stop him.

On last night's news, Putin was all alone at the end of a very long table, proving he learnt from Hitler not to trust his friends nor advisors. . . . .

Thanks, Ilene. Personally, I think the fella’s gone gaga… either that or he just wants infamy and doesn’t care how he gets it. But hey! It’s Russia… if he upsets the wrong people, they might ‘lose him’ for us. Glad you enjoyed. Terry
