WAR WILL END DAY ONE
RUSSIA AND UKRAINE BE DONE
A TALL TALE TRUMP’S SPUN
PUTIN AT CROSSROAD
WAR NOT HOW AS SHOULD UNFOLD
NO GAS BEING SOLD
BAD NEWS ON WAR FRONT
THAT PUTIN WAS NOW CONFRONT
REGRETTING THIS STUNT
DRONES IN RUSSIA, SOAR
FORTRESS RUSSIA IS NO MORE
THERE IS MORE IN STORE
TRUMP PAY ATTENTION
PUTIN FACING DISSENSION
UNDER MUCH TENSION
The invasion has begun.
In the distance,I hear the rattle of heavy artillery.
Silage trailers,as they thunder along pock-marked country roads.
Young conscripts,barely legal,battling with the controls of a modern day,
monster tractor.
Happy as the day is long,
they tick tok around the clock,
Posting updates and images of the work in progress
to their army of followers.
They'll be starving by lunch time.
Putins' long white table would seat a platoon of men,
In for the dinner,
On a break from gathering potatoes, building a stack of hay or toiling at a dusty thrasher.
But my mother would barely have a table cloth long enough
for Putins' table.
To cover the blood stains, from the flesh
dripping slowly from the the meat grinder.
Dear Mr Putin.' At this time, of world need
Is there? Any possibility? In the middle east
Conflict you could intercede.? After so many millions of lives were tortured and lost, just in your own Russia, when hitlers
Armies marched across, i will give that monster no more time..I move back to today and now, and the need of a well balanced character.' In a world of deceit, well defined.
Amid, threats of global chaos.' I beleive you
Would have the ear; of others,
who lead that
Might assist, and to be fair..Its you and trump i
Have mostly studied, so here i will desist.'
you i
See are a tested statesman, who holds his
Line, and protects his reserves, a Christian
By self assertion, dear Mr Putin would you
Perhaps now serve.? By contacting those you feel, are pragmatic.' To bring such mayhem
We now face to heel.' I ask in Christ as a bondsman..Can you project some sanity.?
Maybe? (broker with others,) a world calming deal.'
Ex-KGB prime minister then president
twice.? Entered into Minsk accords..
Watched many countries from
The old Warsaw pact shorn.'
Did allow a con-vid response.' Yet no
coercion or shaming, no fear ensconced
Not as i could have expected, it to be.?
Then in early twenty, twenty two, put a
Military force into Ukrainian sectors
All pro-Russian i'd say; thats quite true.'
Banned transgender and same sex
coupling, he gets disparaged..He appears viewed
From outside, a determined leader.' Internally
I undamaged' What
Effects will be engendered, how long will
He linger.? Will he deter
another world war? Almost by default.? Whats waiting in
Store? I remember the old cold war.' Claim and
Counter.? I'd rather that, than continents
burst asunder.? I view the scenes and hope
Some sense.? Could things cool down.? I
Forget recompence..And for what.? I plead
No war..Neither big nor small. They are counter productive chores."
He’s Putin’s little piggy
that’s what the people say
Caught in Russian kompromat
the good old-fashioned way
His treachery was obvious
for all the world to see
As Putin’s evil smile confirmed
that day in Helsinki
A life of smoke and mirrors
so many he could sway
Lawyers, doctors, broke their oaths
so many chose to play
As businessman, a loser
of this there was no doubt
Until old Vlad came running-in
to help a grifter out
A bank and his accountant
handled the amounts
That ran from Putin’s pipeline
into Donald’s bank accounts
A vessel filled with anger
jealousy and hate
The ugly face of US greed
that’s never, ever sate
TRUMP IS PUTIN‘S CLOWN
PUTIN DOING A SHAKE DOWN
WITH THIS, TRUMP IS DOWN
TRUMP PICKS VLAD NOT VLOD
VLAD IS SUCH AN EVIL SO
TRUMP THINKS VLAD A GOD
Cursing in squirrel...
He's claimed the tulip tree for his own.
I've named him Putin.
He blames me when the petals fall.
When the weather turns foul. When the seeds are lean.
When sustenance heads deep underground.
He even blames me for his twitching tail and poor posture.
My roof is his autobahn.
It craps on my porch daily.
Chewed a hole in my gilded eave.
I once set out a live trap. And caught a skinny red robin instead...
From his tree, Putin twitched his hammer-and-sickle tail and laughed.
It's passed along the game to its progeny
They profit handsomely off my misery.
I patch the eaves...occasionally.
I think I'll bring in the steel teeth, put away the live traps.
And snap comrade Putin's little furry neck.
Perhaps he's crackers
to embrace glitz
(to paraphrase Irving Berlin)
'Putin on the Ritz'
tho'
'Sometimes something is better than nothing'
went the writing on the wall
yet
'Too much of nothing'
(wrote the Zimmerman)
is really no good at all
and
'Everything comes to those who wait'
an optimist put in prose
but
Cole Porter said it best
when he wrote, 'Anything Goes'
He had to be mad
to invade Ukraine
his troops followed orders
they must all be insane
to cross the borders
an unwarranted attack
by a megalomaniac
bombarding innocents
who couldn't fight back
one leader was a comedian
the other is a clown
the former gave us smiles
the latter makes us frown
what do the Russians hope
to achieve or accomplish
by destroying all they covet
leave us alone Ukraine's only wish
and it would be right in the pocket
if Zelenskyy signed a docket
for a galoot in cahoots
who's a-rootin' tootin'
to shoot a stealth rocket
between the ears of the idiot Putin
This is to be sung.
Dear Putin
Won’t you come out today
Dear Putin
Meet the men who flew all this way
The sky is blue, their cash is green
Greatest deal, you just wait and see
Dear Putin
Won’t you just try aye aye
Dear Putin
Open up those lines.
Sky is blue. Their cash is green
And don’t forget. It’s duty-Free!
Dear Putin
Won’t you just try, aye aye
Eyes of blue, like Russian skies
Take this moment, and Realize
Dear Putin
Open up those lines!
