Rasputin had to order a new robe,
To increase his depleted wardrobe,
He thought pink would look nice
But he should've thought twice,
His followers left in a drove....

There once was a sage man named Rasputin,
With filthy beards, and wore cross made of tin.
While preaching his holy crafts,
He met the queen and her staffs.
He slept with them that got him in a bin....

Rasputin, known as the Russian mad monk,
Was wandering through the abbey quite drunk,
He was caught somewhat unawares
By a descending flight of stairs,
His long cloak causing an ecclesiastical slump....

A Russian Mystic Outré

Mystical-Strannik  
Grigori Yefimovich Rasputin
A charlatan to many
A prophet to some.

His hypnotic effect
Incomprehensible
His eyes uncanny
A saint to none.

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!

When they disinterred his corpus
they kicked up quite a sizeable  rumpus.
for they found no slight trace of toxin
in what remained of Rasputin.
His end must have been gory,
but this news from the grave makes me sad
not so much on account of the madman
as the disproof of his end-of-life story....

There was once a president named Putin

Who with time became the world's Rasputin

Against Ukraine declared war

For which, the West him abhor

But soon his life took a deadly backspin!

Such was his damnable gift
Being little more than a curse
Others he wanted to lift
His touch left them so much worse
His mind lacking all insight
Leaving so many disturbed
Utter wrong being his right
He blundered on unperturbed
Freedom his cry for Ukraine
That was the  hope of Putin
All he delivered was pain
Just another Rasputin...

These are very bad times for our nation.
We are in a very dire situation.
Our tsar is not in his palace anymore,
since our country is embroiled in a war.
The tsar is supervising the front line armament.
In St. Petersburg, a mad man is heading our government.
The tsarina is very difficult to convince
since Rasputin has hypnotic power over the prince.
We must come to the aid of Mother Russia.
Let’s murder that little monkey from Siberia.

A mysterious guy  
who was devilishly gifted  
wore a healer's dress  
like a clergyman
kind of wolf in sheep's clothing  
but his eyes bared another ego
 
he crept into women's hearts  
and strangled their resistance
with fervent thrusts
untill the souls were slashed
a cemetry of trophies  
he bent men's iron will
and got what he wanted  
and finally his manhood  
made the queen whisper  
his wishes to her husband
 
he changed the course of  
country's destiny....
