Ukrainian refugees in Krakow, Poland, protest the Russian invasion of Ukraine and call for NATO intervention.

There once was a Russian named Vlad

His invasion of Ukraine was bad

He said it was Russian

And needed some crushin'

To make its main town Putin-grad.

= = =

The experts said Russia was wrong

But they thought its army too strong

They placed all their bets

On the Kremlin's jets

And didn't think it would take long.

= = =

To this the Ukrainers said nyet

We haven't bowed down to you yet

To fight 'gainst our foe

We need more ammo

We'll rally and take on this threat.

= = =

This warfare began months ago

The Russian invasion did slow

It captured some land

But much less than planned

And that's when their captains said whoa.

= = =

Ukraine has soldiers that aim

To set Russia's tanks all aflame

They'll shoot down a jet

And not break a sweat

They put their opponents to shame.

= = =

Now Russia has suddenly found

Their army has lost lots of ground

When it all began

That was not the plan

And many warplanes have been downed.

= = =

He once was renowned for statecraft

Now Putin has set up a draft

The man's just a plodder

He wants cannon fodder

His army is badly short-staffed.

= = =

No one knows how this will end

It's just that I'm seeing a trend

That Kherson just fell

And others as well

That Russia just couldn't defend.
