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”
