In honor of dead Russian generals…
He Was the Very Model of A Russian Major-General*
He was the very model of a Russian Major-General,
With knowledge biological, nuclear, and chemical,
He knew the czars of Russia, great battles territorial
Kulikovo to Stalingrad, so famous in memorial;
A highly educated man, proud son of Mother Russia,
Keen to take the fight abroad, if needed into Prussia,
He’d studied all the theories and memorized the tactics,
The ideal one to send to fight the Nazi drug fanatics;
The battle started well that day until the Javelin struck,
Blowing up the general’s tank and the general’s luck,
And now he’s headed home in a mood quite funereal,
He was the very model of a Russian Major-General.
*with apologies to Gilbert and Sullivan
I am horrified and furious at what the Ukrainians are suffering thru…
I can even muster some sympathy for Russian conscripts who don’t want to be there…
I feel ZERO pity for dead Russian generals.
Sometimes when I see a video of a Russian helicopter being shot down, or a tank erupting in flames, I find myself cheering… and then I realize I just watched several human beings die a horrible, ugly death, too… and I feel sick to my stomach…
But when a Russian general bites it? I’m fine w/ that…
