Siberian Snow Blindness




Have you seen any suspicious Russians
roving around the Capitol grounds lately, sir?

Why, no I haven’t
By the way, 
what does a Russian look like,
I dare ask with curious dismay
That black fella over there
might be a Soviet spy, eh!

No, I’m afraid not
Blacks are not indigenous to 
the Siberian clime

Well, I believe you to be wrong,
my ill-informed friend
I hashtagged the Gulag,
and saw plenty of dark-skinned souls
chumming it up with the guarding variety type
government issued clothes

Those were merely some displaced dissidents
caught in a crackdown, anti-terrorism net,
for protesting actions of the American government

Mister, don’t try to intelligence insult me
I can see just as good as you,
I’m no Siberian blind snowbird — 
I record every shakedown,
and any secret deal whispered
I can oath testify to this,
as long as you ask me nothing 
	incriminating
Do you catch my perjury snow drift?

Yes, sir ... there’s no need
for any further questions asked
As for those unseen Russians,
give me a call if you sight one

Will do, Mr. G-man with the license-to-kill gun
But are you sure them hated Russians don’t look like
black raisins orange jumpsuit tanned in the sun?!

Interesting piece, Freddie!...Having taught over 5,000 people from the old USSR, I can assure you that they're not the most open-minded people on earth, as a rule...And also interestingly, I think that 'black russian' is some kind of cocktail drink...At any rate, ver-r-r-ry inter-r-r-r-r-resting write! :) gw
