Jenna Logan Poet Limerick

Putin Purloined

Prompted by Tom Cunningham's poem 'If Only Dreams Came True.' A reverie about the demise of Putin. Thanks for the inspiration, Tom.


Tis true that sometimes history is repeated
Putin and Rasputin were cruel and conceited
Both were quite licentious
Vulgar and pretentious
One now lies dead, the other must be defeated

Rasputin was a political saboteur
A diabolical trait of Vlad's, to be sure
Despised by his own nation
Death by assassination
A more barbarous death for Putin, I'd prefer

Now his broken tail bone is in need of repair
I hope he's worried and wary, because I swear
My anesthetizing gas
Would rid the world of his ass
Fulfilling the prayers of people everywhere

Reason A. Poteet December 13, 2022 at 12:40 AM Lovely poetry. It is limerick done par excellence. May your “prayers” be answered with speed.93B

L Milton Hankins December 11, 2022 at 9:23 AM Perfect limericks for the SOB! I agree with Tom. We should put the kabosh on his swagger once and for all, in my opinion. Jenna Logan December 12, 2022 at 6:08 AM Somebody should, but I suppose his security is pretty tight. Thanks, Milt.

Tom Cunningham December 11, 2022 at 7:48 AM Lol brilliant limericks Jenna, Russia seems to churn out some crackpots. About time we stood up to that dog, he shouts nuclear and everyone ducks. If it was me I'd say go on you dog press your button and see what happens, I'd wipe Russia off the face of the planet Grrrr Jenna Logan December 11, 2022 at 9:16 AM I can't think of anything more disgraceful than what he's done and continues to do.
