They are spending each last printed dollar.
They ignore us out here who still holler:
"Better tighten your belt,
 or what might be felt
 is the noose slipping under your collar."...

Kiss me in the morning,just before I wake to see,
that you're not really with me
just the breeze is kissing me.

cool and white the lenin curtains,
wafting soft across my lips,
lacy patterns tracing love so like your Phantom fingertips....

Limerick: Once the Great Grandson of Queen Victoria

Once the great grandson* of Victoria
Heir to the throne of tsarist Russia
Saved by “Doc” Rasputin
Killed by Lenin-Stalin
Lo! Heir to Queen Vic’s haemophilia!

Prolific used to refer primarily
    to people, animals and plants
  Those who produced abundant offspring
    like kittens, puppies, and ants  

  Today we hear about prolific authors
    Steven King comes to mind
  But thanks to Malthus, Marx and Lenin
    Folks in the West are disinclined...

From Lenin to Stalin
Khrushchev to Gorbachev
The USSR tried to
choke the West off

Now with Vladimir Putin
Russia's back and shootin'
Masters of duplicity
Executions through toxicity

name in the second line can

     Never a Marxist
       I didn’t like Groucho
     And though I read Spanish
       forget Sancho Panza

     I was a big Lenin fan
       John, not Vlady --
     who loved a hot-toddy
       when courting a ‘la-dy’ 

     Today my likes and dislikes
       blow hot and cold
     which is likely to happen
       when your blood runs old

This Grand Opening
I attended: Scene
McDonald’s, Moscow,
Queue extended over
Under Pushkin Square
(Some saw the poet’s
Spirit rise and sniff
The air).  No
Royalty to cut
The ribbon, courtesy
Of Comrade Lenin,
Just some shivering,
Hatless Business Guys
With Cheeseburger Eyes,
Cutting Communism down
To size with French Fries,
Beating back
The Russian Winter
With Hot Apple Pies....

If walls could talk
What would Keats or Wilde’s walls say?
Or Lenin or Lennon’s?
Or the walls of a pub
A prison or a morgue?
Ah, but now walls do speak
Your walls
Our home is in the ether
We are immortal
The needs for our feeds
Your walls will talk forever
Your rants
Your memes
Your poems
Your cat pictures with laser dots
That plate of lasagne
Who you like
And who you hate
They will live forever
You will live forever
In the ether...

My freshman reading list is
    Thomas Payne, Marx, Engels, Lenin, Trotsky
  The prof is not one to pitschky-potschky  

  The leaders to be studied will be
    Elijah Muhammed, Stalin, Castro, Marx, and Xi
  I wonder why A.H. is an absentee

  O, I get it -- Good things come in fives
    USA, Russia, China, Cuba and Syria
  Nazi Germany too busy taking lives

  Looking forward to an action-packed semester
    in this new course called ~
  'Proud Traditions of our Ancestors'...
