Poetry for Ukraine #2: Zelenskiy

 Zelenskiy Zelenskiy
He gives hope to you and me
As he fights for his country
So that Ukraine will soon be free.
he's handsome and he's brave
And he's always up for more
He'll never be Putin's slave
And he's going to win this war.
He's handsome and he's funny.
He's really the best of men.
And we all know we can count on him
To win and win again.
They clapped and clapped and clapped him
When he spoke to the UN
He inspires, gives hope, he's so damn brave
He's truly the best of men
He spoke to the House of Commons
In London by the Thames
And promised he would fight and fight
again and again and again.
He's clever he's delightful
He's eloquent and he's brave
He's defied six efforts already
To put him in his grave
But in truth he's a man
That Putin can never kill
For if flesh falls his spirit
Will live on in all of us still
To everyone who hopes that Ukraine will soon be free
Why not pour a dram of whisky
Toast the champion of liberty
President Volodymyr Zelenskiy.

Sawney Bean: a pome.

 Ah'm the famous Sawney Bean
The terror of Bennane Head
Ah eat people who're still wriggling,
Ah eat people freshly dead.
My bride is Black Agnes Douglas
She's bonny and she's braw
She kens richt well how to cook men
The wee yins she eats raw.
Oor hame is in a cave
And beware if you draw near
For around this glen all kinds of men
Ha been known to disappear.
Some dinners scream and some dinners squeal.
Some dinners curse and say "it cannae be real,"
But ah'm the famous Sawney Bean
And you're ma next meal
