For Russia, With Love

Ah, Russia,
how fortunate we are to have you return into our lives,
sickle-rattling and growling at the Eastern borders of the Occident EU.
(though apparently, we should be angry with you.)

Oh, America,
you bloviate obnoxiously with a vice-tight lock on right
endlessly and hypocritically denouncing the very same actions you pursue
(have you not heard of that Golden Rule?)

And now you, Mr. Putin
(you're so divine!)
with your shiny dome and impish grin
(trying to put the union back together again)
are, dare we say
accusing the Republicans of conspiracy
just to get McCain elected
so their power will be unobstructed
for another four-year period
to further rape our beleaguered nation
a little more...
(the liberal whore!)

ah well, it's not our Georgia
not like the tanks are in Atlanta
and the flow of fuel that will be interrupted
was headed West across the Caucasus
(not to our ports of entry
that's from Saudi territory!)

and there is the added bonus
that when the fuel that is obstructed
is meant for our silly, passive cousins
it's the Euro that might soon falter
and bring strength back to the broken dollar
and the neo-cons will stay upon us
never to fall...
(privatization for all!)

Oh Russian Bear,
Please save our lot
expose the US plot!
