Trump and Putin

(to the tune of "Love and Marriage")

Trump and Putin, Trump and Putin -
Both seem oh-so-very highfalutin,
With such praises gushin.'
(Though who knows what was said in Russian?)

Trump and Putin, Trump and Putin -
When you see them, you should start salutin.'
Since they both love power,
Admiration we should shower.

Why, why, why then do we hate them?
Just pick a reason.
Lie, lie, lie to us until we think
It must be treason.

Trump and Putin, Trump and Putin - 
If you think they're bad, you're right, darn tootin.'
Hawks of likewise feather
And I would bet that their duet 
Has no Nyet yet - Bullies together!

Putheism You smoke, you drink, you have no wife, It's Putin making your bad life. And when it's hot, and when it's cold, It's all Vladimir Putin's fault. When you're upset and there's no hope, When you have got unwanted job, It's Putin done, because who else does not want make you Prince of Wells. He's evil guy, he wants no peace, He makes you cry, he makes you miss, When all your money's not enough to buy a date with Queen of love. When you've got feud with mom and dad, When new "Star wars" is pretty bad, Why Harvey Weinstein will not say: Vlad Putin pushed me on this way! It's always Putin everywhere, He has bare torso riding bear, He's almighty and fearful too, But you're a good person, aren't you?

Disgustingly clever and enjoyable. I'm just a little sick and tired of our nation and this world being subjected to these horrible people. Ung included. :/ :)

Kharasho! (Russian for "good"). Reminds me of the scene in "Patton" where General Patton (portrayed by the late George C. Scott) tells the Russian general "All right, I'll drink to that! One SOB to another!"
