Na solidarnistʹ z ukrayinsʹkym narodom
By Laurie Baron
Crimea!
It was mere practice, Crimea.
For the invasion pain
I’ll inflict upon Ukraine.
You’ll see in Ukraine.
The Ukraine,
It claims it’s a nation, the Ukraine.
It was Russian under the Czars
And under the commissars.
I’ve prevented its NATO straying.
It’s Russian, and my troops are staying.
There’ll be no betraying by Ukraine.
The Ukraine.
Can’t a leader like me aspire
To rebuild Stalin’s empire?
Why does the West feel such ire?
I’ll never stop slaying in Ukraine.
