‘Drab, aggressive’ Russia
steeped deep in ‘misbehavior’
Pugnacious like Prussia
claims Democracy’s Saviors
It’s referred to as ‘petulant’
in US media news
condescendingly prevalent
in repetitive abuse
Russia is ‘overarmed’
unless she disarms
states the U.S. alarmed
with ten times the arms
Russia needs a thorough spanking
Let’s boldly sanction its banking!

Wondrous solace of stillness
eludes us without fail
when electronic shrillness
pierces through nature’s veil
Might one of those clueless clods
(who with such hapless abandon
plugs in their stylish ear pods)
find for Net surfing a stand-in?
How without stillness & solitude
shall we re-connect with rectitude?
Hemskt trist förstås vore han nazist
mens kanske bara narcissist
som uppför sej som dryg egoist
en nyårsaftons fyllerist?
Men väl knappt nått egentligt
att tjata om offentligt?
Som när vi själva utbrister:
Daltande dietister!
Veligt vingliga cyclister!
Självgoda nykterister!
Varför måste vi hålla på å stimma
långt efter glasögonen slutat imma?
