Ike's MIC-a-doodle-doo is fine and dandy

lots of new countries sharon stone crossed legs eye candy contracts

.

Ukraine is on the mend, Z-man to the rescue

I doubt he'll end up like Nicolae CeauÈ „ escu

.

he's booted the living heck out of the oligarchs

he's taken control of his panama paper leaks, high marks!

.

why, the oligarch who made him Servant to the People

was stripped of his citizenship -- you could feel the ripple

.

although They Say says it was stunt and probably illegal

(I wish they could say the same thing about Glass-Steagall)

.

the Ukrainians are sticking cellists on chairs in empty cities

to give us note by note wails, sorrows and pities

.

but some are sticking military targets in densely populated areas

which gives some human righters on the Left the war crime diarrheas

.

well, Z-man is no Zarathustra, no Che tees ahead for him

and he keeps thrusting his wife out like some political bim

.

and Burisma who we collectively forget as usual

is starting to look like its a player in this war: think Stan Musial

.

I've been reading they've got gas lines in the Russian-speaking badlands

which opens up Hunter's Burisma presence, read: Daddy Glad-Hands

.

and where is Cofer Black and why don't we want to know, to know, to know?

every day the importance of the absence of his presence will grow and grow and grow

.

I reckon we'll be in Ukraine until the end of time, aye

but time's a construct, and we're one minute to midnight and then bye-bye
