From Vlad to Donald

Dear Donald,

Congratulations. I really like

How you have muddied the waters, my friend.

You keep stressing my talking points

And give new meaning to the word “pretend.”

Not only have you duped your base,

You have your friends in Congress wrapped

Around your little finger, for you

Can lie whenever you feel trapped.

You have worshipers pushing your stories,

Conspiracy theories--the whole shebang.

Just try to polish your storytelling

So that your lies don’t boomerang.

Heaping all the blame on Ukraine

For having meddled in twenty sixteen

In your election helps us both

Advance our propaganda machine.

A weaker Ukraine is good for Russia;

What’s good for Russia is good for you.

Think of all the power we’ll have.

That would be my dream come true.

To me it is a great honor

How you place your trust in me

When your intel agencies

And I happen to disagree.

The way that you obstruct justice

And Congress pleases me as well.

It's right out of my own playbook:

Just tell them all to go to hell.

When you, like me, have total control

Over the media, you're on your way

To being a leader who makes the people

Do what you do and say what you say.

People suspect that I have dirt

On you, but you can rest assured

That all you have to do is follow

My suggestions, and mum’s the word.

Your friend, Vlad
