Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin,
the KGB dictator the West has been courtin’.
Evoking Swan Lake by revealing his black heart;
for democracy he obviously has no regard.
Hats off to Robin Hood
for the poor always doing good
Maid Marian all but stole his heart
which did upset the apple cart
There was a tiger named Tony
his passion was for tasty macaroni ~
For some obscure reason, the powers that be
decided bowls of frosted flakes it would be
Wardrobe malfunction for Robin,
resorting to needle and bobbin ~
mishap happened behind a church
leaving Batman high in a lurch.

Good day for Huckleberry Finn
sporting a big proud grin.
Cast and caught a real winner,
he's taking it home for dinner.
Today's the day Lucky Luke
trades his hat in for a tuque
not sure his fashion choice and flair
will still be a hit with ladies everywhere
On a hunting trip Yosemite Sam
shot up a loose can of spam
didn't taste like his usual venison
so took for precaution a spoonful of medicine

Fearing the loss of his hair, Porky Pig
went out and purchased a wig.
Now he's parading thinking he's handsome
securing his do cleverly with gum.

Smokey the Bear points his finger at you
Watch the campfire and everything you do
One bad move brings a forest to its knees
Many a wise decision saves a forest of trees

Note-Saw a completed contest. And thought I'd
give it a try after the fact. The poem may be late
for the dance, but nonetheless, it's fun to dance.
What do you want from me I’m Sylvester
I’ve a slippery lisp, wellsth I ain’t Uncle Fester
Tweety's my obsession, he’ths hard to get
Suffering Succotash, I need a cigarette!
One summer day Speedy Gonzales
met a very sweet girl named Alice
she liked his big yellow sombrero
it complemented her little bolero
It was Betty and Veronica
who asked Archie to play the harmonica
turned out the sound was so bad
that they rushed to replace him with grandad
Often Piglet and Winnie the Pooh
head out to the zoo
a slight detour and they come up to a beehive
for sweet honey it sure is worth a dip and a dive

Walt Disney's Mickey Mouse
Still struts through each media house,
With hose stretched tighter than his grin,
And yellow shoes too big for his thin shin.
Popeye the Sailor Man
eats lots of spinach straight from the can.
Then he's strong to the finish, defeating bad guys.
He's a hero in smitten girlfriend Olive Oyl's eyes.
