The Real End of the Cold War 1989

THE REAL END OF THE COLD WAR 1989 This is why the Soviet Union collapsed? The rail engineers were then all women - Who stopped working in uniform - relapsed (This is why the Soviet Union collapsed.) They did cocaine lines on the steel, perhaps Relaxing on the job by rail-sittin’. This is why the Soviet Union collapsed: The rail engineers were then all women. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . NOTE Each line has ten syllables. The word “soviet” seems to have three syllables but is usually pronounced with only two - as “sov” “yet”. Likewise “union” is usually “yun” “yon” . . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Written by Sydney Peck for Nette Onclaud’s contest IN THE AFTERGLOW
