UKRAINE RAIN <\/p>\n

by Bill Kochman<\/p>\n

02-21-2023<\/p>\n

Oh Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine,
\nWhere US money drops like rain,
\nYet meanwhile back at home,
\nSo many suffer economic pain.<\/p>\n

Trying to get the prez to stop,
\nSeems like an effort in vain,
\nAnd tho he won’t even listen,
\nWar support has begun to wane.<\/p>\n

There’s clearly something wrong,
\nWhen leaders view with disdain,
\nFolks they were meant to serve,
\nHas old Biden just gone insane?<\/p>\n

Well his VP is not much better,
\nNo love for the US can she feign,
\nLet’s buy them a one-way ticket,
\nOn an out-of-country aeroplane.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
