He reverted to rape and pillage...

Who left girls 9-months with no money
And your DNA
May clearly display
Your ancestor found that NOT funny!

Mongolian Beef
His online persona was dung
All those one-star reviews really stung
He got him an agent
improved his engagement
changed his name to Attila the Hung

Putin, Imagine
Putin, imagine all the great things you might have done
In a lifetime of serving your country, Mother Russia,
You could’ve made your homeland great, second to none
For centuries she has been rich with world renown culture,
Instead, you have chosen to be like an evil Attila the Hun.

A Pine Tree
The pine tree in its mystery, it sings
Of fighting, battles, bravery, wars won.
Through its needles the cannon rings
Faint memories of Attila the Hun;
Of great Arthur as Excalibur sings;
Alexander, his conquest done.
This immortal tree has seen many things:
Its roots soaked in blood, witnessed the first sun;
Bent by the wind, frozen as the ice stings;
And it lives on, seared by those machine guns....

you could lie and say i was king
and still tell the truth
i defeated Attila the Hun
and outwitted Alexander the great
upstaged Julius Caesar.
i crawled through the dunes of Arabia
and splattered them with bandit blood
i took the lives of many
that my people may be safe another day
i fought bravely for my country
and now, Valhalla awaits.
*i know the history is incorrect, but its figurative....

Horn Hairy Gorrila Limerick
Horn Hairy Gorilla Limerick
We were drinking some sarsaparilla
Ran into Hun that they named Attila
Pretended he was a gorgeous man
From each country him they did ban
He had turned into a harry gorilla.
Trump even played a part on the
Ozzie and Harriet as a worthless
trash collector who never learned
how to use a compactor and also
was a poor actor who became
our President. We are supposed
to be the benefactor. Can you
imagine that.
