Those Pesky Russians: A Poem

by William Skink

To break up the tedium of training I wrote a little poem today. I’d like to dedicate it to all those patriots pushing the Russia-did-it meme to delegitimize President-elect Trump and sway enough faithless electors to deny Trump his victory and start a civil war. Enjoy!

RUSSIA DID IT

I awoke this morning
and the coffee wasn’t hot
how did the Russians
infiltrate my coffee pot?

on my way to work
the roads were poorly plowed
a Russian plot for sure
designed to slow me down

at work the database
gave me error screens
somewhere in the wires
Russians hack, unseen

the clock is barely moving now
has Russia hijacked time?
I’m paralyzed by terror
at every little sign

the situation is critical
help me, Uncle Sam!
I’m trapped inside this cubicle
as part of Russia’s plan

to undermine America
and sap my vital juices
so nuke those pesky Russians
before America loses
