Russia (cunningly) schemed to deliver
U.S. election to Putin's selection.
Everything went according to plan.
The bloated ego vulgarian
became Vlad's Potomac Volga boatman.
Sadly, Vlad came to see Trump
as a waste of space,
a loser, a bumptious lump,
who could get dumped,
be out in disgrace.
(Too bad, Vlad. So sad.
IN! YOUR! FACE!)
As Rabbie Burns said, "gang aft agley"*,
even it seems for ex-KGB.
So go the schemes of mice and of men.
Even when you're a Kremlin Gremlin.

*But Mousie, thou art no thy-lane,
In proving foresight may be vain:
The best laid schemes o’ Mice an’ Men
Gang aft agley,
An’ lea’e us nought but grief an’ pain,
For promis’d joy!
— Rabbie Burns, "To A Mouse"
[in other words]
But little Mouse, you are not alone,
In proving foresight may be vain:
The best laid schemes of mice and men
Go often askew,
And leave us nothing but grief and pain,
For promised joy!
— Robert Burns, "To A Mouse"
