Putin Is Not a Nice Guy

Terror reigns as fire from the sky Signals more civilian patriots will die, Even as seasoned diplomats feebly try Putin’s in charge, and he’s not a nice guy. Proverbially, someday in hell … he’ll fry, When Righteousness hears Ukrainians cry We cannot think Good will simply pass by Accepting the tyrant’s despicable alibi, Is he on some crazy narcissistic high? No one supports him, certainly not I, Perhaps a slash up high on his thigh Would give him more than reason to sigh, How could nations have believed his lie? Shall we wring our hands, Me-Oh-My? Must do more than drain his economy dry Europe will be appearing in his targets nigh, I'd pay an assassin to tell Putin bye-bye! written March 4, 2022

"Is he on some crazy narcissistic high?" - oh, yes, you have that right! In 50 cities Russians are protesting against this maniacal egotistical greedy dictator!

Well, I hope someone over there will do more than protest! I have no problem wishing him ill, since he has been solo responsible for the deaths of so many innocent people.

Nicely done monorhyme, Milt. Putin is pure evil. That narcissistic monster is committing war crimes in Ukraine, and he'll go down for it eventually. I eagerly await his downfall. He deserves a bullet in his head.

These Russian leaders are very difficult to dislodge Milton, I feel if he does go it will have to be an internal job, must say your monorhyme structure here is quite outstanding, excellent poem, cheers David

Thanks so much, David. Under ordinary circumstances a monochrome poem would be fun...this one wasn't!

Heavens have prepared Hell for him and are ready him to fry, my dearest friend, Milton. He is the most hated person in the world and soon would pay for his crimes on earth as well. Excellent Monorhyme! Blessings!

I would say his days are numbered one way or another. Thanks for your response to my poem, Demetrios. I appreciate you.

Have you got that assassins bank details, I'd certainly contribute. He's getting desperate now, attacking a nuclear power station, the man has lost it. Three of his top commanders have been killed in battle. I hope it becomes another Afghanistan for them. Tom

I just hope it doesn't drag on that long! I think someone needs to get to him pronto!

I'd aim for a spot between his thighs first, Milt.

Either way will do the trick, Jenna. That vein in the upper thigh will take you out pretty quickly. And the other will make you wish you had been taken out quickly! Thanks!

I hope and pray he's days are numbered Milton.

Me too, John. It seems as though he has taken steps to protect himself from possible assassins. I'm sure there are a few oligarchs who would like to see him gone!
