Premium Member Too Provocative

Russia valiantly fights 'a war of defense'
  against Ukraine which 'has given offense'
Can Russia depose 'the Nazi, Zelensky?'
  to end Ukraine's 'genocide of slaughtering Russenkis?'         (aka Russians)

Russia's 'defense of her people' is understandable
But are NATO's policies all-so-commendable?
NATO says 'Nyet' to to No-fly Zones -- 'too provocative'
  ~ Russia laughs at such 'justifications' for her to use her prerogative



________________________________________________________
Russia bombs a maternity hospital and a nuclear reactor; levels whole
towns; shells civilian apartment complexes indiscriminately -- and NATO
can't OK a 'No-Fly-Zone' -- a DEFENSIVE tactic! -- to stop it?!!! For the
sake of humanity, when will Western leaders find the courage to FIGHT 
this second coming of the murderous liar, Hitler?!!!!

A-R-R-R-G-H

Trump claims that a UFO stole
The votes that prove Trump reached his goal
But Putin says, "Nyet!
Trump seems to forget
We were only taking a poll!"

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!

Si, si, si, si, si---So!

  Oui, oui, oui, oui, oui---Whoa!

    Ja, ja, ja, ja, ja---Yo!

      Da, da, da, da, da---Nyet?

              --NO!

Time

Once smooth
and lush,
the flesh 
has turned
to mush
as if Time
accepts its 
duty to
make 'pretty'
decline.

Who said 
we have 
to exit with 
a murmur
not a shout--
No fireworks
for the final 
Out? Nyet, 
nyet, I do 
not accept.
