A world where it doesn’t rain save there are umbrellas for all
Where, only on the house of the evil doer, would a tree ever fall
Where bad people look gruff and mean, but good men all stand tall
…in your dreams, maybe
A life of harmony and love that begins with just one kiss
Where all is well that ends well, and ever after we’ll live in bliss
When good things come to those who wait, with never even a miss
…only on TV
No matter the problem, we’re sure there’s always a way
Nothing but nothing is impossible to those who dare to say
‘Human brawn and whit, my friends, will surely save the day’
…hee hee hee
A Chicken in every pot, a pot on every table
Justice for all, and a job for everyone who’s able
I’ll just wave my wand and make the economy stable
…vote for me
What we do will save the world from poverty and despair
We’ll right all wrongs and adjust the scales so everything is fare
We’ll punish the bad, reward the good, and show the poor we care
…wait and see
…just wait and see
Well, we abolished humanity because it’s bad
Some said, ‘Oh my! Why, that’s so sad!’
But really, it’s the only choice we had
…for a perfect world, you see

Some external links: The Bat’s Poetry Cave. — Fledermaus’s poetry site. Talking Writing Monster. — the irreverent and irrelevant chatter on subjects both serious and not quite. A free for all board. You can scribble anything on it without registration (but it doesn’t let spammers in). You can even post your poems. Qwant.com. — a search engine from France. It’s an alternative because there are a few alternatives, like Bing, Duckduckgo, and Ecosia. And there is Yandex, the ultimate language-oriented search engine for the Russophone world. Commercial Links: Russian Commerce – the foreign trade assistance agency Other links: Poems and poetry in Russian (if you are reading this in English, as you obviously are, then you’d have to switch the language, the language switch is on the menu.
