I used to be this big Zelensky fan,
MUGA T-shirt, cap, and sticker on my van,
Loved to watch his comic antics so silly,
Like him playing piano with his li'l white willie,
Only to turn into a Churchill so proud,
And rally his people against Putin's crowd.
.
But lately I'm starting to feel less enthused,
And in fact I'm thinking I'm just being used,
By the media and pols who shill for democ'
Who haven't quite told us that Z tends to mock
The things civ' society holds rather dear:
Like holding certain beliefs and having no fear.
.
'Cause now he's outlawed the Church Orthodox,
For reading Russian bibles and then giving talks.
Since all things Russian Z has already banned,
It follows those priests will have to be canned,
And preach in dungeons to reporters and pols,
Who languish in jails for not being Z trolls.
.
But that's the example Z sets for his peop':
Churchillian by day and by night two-faced creep.
He begs for arms which are then sold at cut rates,
Which struck me at first as the work of ingrates,
But war is a racket, something Ukies know now,
And so take advantage of the only cash cow.
.
Nato won't come, and they'll surely get flayed,
Z having been by Wash-town well played.
So if Ukies are busy making a buck,
And drive off with Stingers and shells in their truck,
I can't much blame them and hope they reserve
A squirt of revenge for the neocons they serve.
