BanderaWocky (with apologies to Lewis Carroll) (1)
DANIEL WIRT
‘Twas brillig, and the slithy Neocons
All mimsy were the Liberal Fascists,
And the TeaBangers outgrabe.
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Kaganate of Nulands (2),
And their 50 caliber keyboards!
Spraying Putin-bashing hate and Russophobia (3, 4)
In the service of their romantic war fantasies!
Hang the bastard, hang the SOB
Obsessively and compulsively shout
These fifth columnists against Russia,
Fifth columnists against a multipolar world,
In the secret service of the Hegemon.
Comfortable armchair strategists,
consulting the I Ching and Tarot cards for guidance
Painfully dumb to the propaganda war.
Ukrainian Nazis nurtured in the fetid uterus of Empire,
Yet another malignant spawn to create chaos and sow death,
Loosed upon a Europe so recently cleansed of Naziism,
At the cost of 30 million Russians.
The Nazi resurgence ignored by mainstream media collaborators,
A monster to be targeted for elimination by the Hegemon,
He took his vorpal sword in hand:
So rested he with the spirit of St. George (6),
And stood a while in thought.
One percent takes forty percent or more
Only terrorists resist sayeth the Death Culture Courtiers
And as in uffish thought he stood,
The Bandera and his Polish Knights, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as they came!
One, two! One, two! and through and through
The vorpal blade, blessed by St.George went snicker-snack!
He left them dead, and with their heads
He went galumphing back.
Hast thou vanquished the Oligarchs and their ObombaSnatch?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
He chortled in his joy
All mimsy were the Liberal Fascists,
And the TeaBangers outgrabe.
