Ukraine Upload: Tercets Plus Refraine

     'Migraine' in the third verse below should 
be pronounced as it is in the UK, namely, 
"mee-graine." Drumpf, were he to recognize 
the word at all, would doubtless, as the verses 
suggest, opt for the 'my-graine'
pronunciation (emphasis on the "my") -- this 
because everything falling within his myopic 
purview he perceives as somehow being all, 
and only, about him.  

Bordering Russia...?
 Ukraine.
(They'd prefer you pronounce it 'U-kraine.') 
"Hearing 'U-kraine's too paineful," Kyiv's sayin'e.
(By the way, let me say: Drumpf's insaine!

Drumpf's refraine...? "ME!kraine!" (Drumpf's so urbaine.)
"If you must mispronounce," he'll explaine,
"just say 'WEkraine.' Or simply abstaine."
(I urge all to recall: Drumpf's insaine!

Where's that "'hands 'cross the sea'-laines" campaigne...?
Quid pro quos set in motion migraine.
(Of Ukraine Drumpf's now proven the baine.
All who meet him repeat: Drumpf's insaine!)

Promis'd Jav'lins Drumpf opts to detaine.
"Dirt on Joe...? Volo's * job to obtaine,"
thunders Drumpf in a "tit for tat" veine.
(Once againe, the refraine: Drumpf's insaine!)

     * Volodymyr Zelensky, President of Ukraine
