Yankee Gringo

What’ve you done, Joe?
How did you manage to blow
In a matter of months
This bizarre, this low?

Look, Joe!
This may be a manifesto
Or one-off bravado

Whatever…
It’s a fiasco!

Bear in mind
Your rival is your eternal foe
Right there, in Kremlin, in Moscow
Not a weirdo in Santiago or Kongo

I wonder if you could tiptoe
Into the kitchen and snatch
This ominous hot-patato
Before the whole building
Is hurled into the inferno

Your Secretary of Overthrow
Yankee Gringo
