Like father, like son

 

There they are

As only father and sons

Are seen by the world

A father daughter 

Relationship

Is not quite the same

Nor a mother son

One either

Only when they 

Can compare 

Side by side

Versions 

Of the same thing

Is the world impressed

Here we have 

The Ukrainian upstart

Standing with his mentor

The President of the United States

Biden had been through alot

On a personal level

But as president

He has had nothing

But trouble

His one enduring quality

Through it all 

Has been his guiding hand

On the seat of the pants

Of his little partner

Volodymir Zelensky

Like no other relationship

Is the one of father and son

As expressed through

A relationship

Such as this one

The little guy 

Has been complaining again

He said he did not provoke 

The big bad brother next door

And we believe him

Even though his parents

Were good soviet citizens

He needs help

And Biden 

Went running over there

After they smuggled out

The little one

And for what

No one wants to harm him

He is just making a lot of noise

This time he got to go to the 

United Nations General Assembly

This is a better show

Than the Oscars slapping contest

He got to be present

When the other one 

Is not allowed to do anything

Because he got caught

Having a larger army

And defending his border

As well as his neighbors

Rights to freedom.

Anyways

Without the other guy

Being allowed to attend

He got up the courage

To make a speech

In person and without 

The internet

For which he decided

To go all out

And say he does not like

His neighbor next door

Having the right

Of veto

The very thing that holds

The United Nations together

The big three agreed 

There would be the right

To keep the others in check

With the right of veto

No one nation was going

To have the right

Of moving on someone else

Now they don't need Russia

Anymore

While Germany and France

Were weak after the WWII

Everyone now has the bomb

That my grandfather worked on

And we could not discuss

For fifty years afterwards

Our lips were seeled

What was his job?

My mother always said 

Janitor!

Really growing up

Was difficult for my father

In California

Fearing there were bad guys

At every corner

Wanting to kidnap him or something

And then there were the other things

Anyways life moved onward

Japan is visiting Viet Nam

Korea has visited Putin

Even the new king 

Is in France with Macron

Everyone is happy

Look at them

Charles and Emmanuel 

Could almost be father and son

Or at least close cousins

Who is the stronger?

Charles is a new king

With Prime Minister 

Problems 

While Macron 

Has had nothing but protests

And yet both have also gone to the aid

Of the little guy

Waging a huge effort

Against his nearest 

And closest relatives

Kiev was once the origin

Of the Russian people

Three brothers arrived

As merchants and became

Controllers or rulers

One was named Russ

Later there was 

Vladimir the Great

Known throughout and feared

I am a direct descendant of his

But have gotten no invitation

To visit Kiev

At least not since I was 

A working journalist

I was asked to leave

By force

They wanted peace

With big brother

And found me a threat

I was told to never return

Afraid I might make

Myself empress or something?

Kate has already dont that

I Britian ad makes it obvious

No royal blood

But also a Jewish exile family

Hmm,

Well, Peter the great

Was also well known

And he did visit 

The Versailles Palace

In the 1600's

When it was newly built

He stayed a little longer

Than three days

Three months at least

No invitation 

There either I am afraid

While they are celebrating

400 years

The French have not extended

A warm hand to Putin

Who must satisfy himself

In learning to eat Asian food

And walk his dogs

Since he does not appear

To be a cat person

Oh, Willow

Psst, psst

Catnip!

Sniff, sniff

Those damn boots

Don't belong!

Maybe a little encouragement

Will make him give them up

For real grown-up attire.

No one remembers me

But I do recall them

And being there on time

Every time for my godfather

Who was always the late one

Did not expect him to retire

By way of throat cancer

Now I have a tumor on my thyroid

And get strange response from

The lack of treatment

But if Peter was still with us

I think he might have a few words

For the father and son teams

His father and him

Were in the same business

But a strained relationship

Charles and Peter 

Had between them

And then just as the son

Made it in New York

Where the father could not

He was hit while crossing

The sidewalk to Central Park

I have never dreamnt

Of knowing who he was

Only of getting someone

To believe me

It is as you might suspect

Jimmy!

He was not supposed to be able 

To drive yet

But he was seen driving 

Backhoes or tractors

Because 15 is the legal age

I also saw him drive

Limos before he failed

His driving test at 18

Interesting Lisa 

Also could not drive till

She was 18

And yet was so fixated

On Diana 

That she was seen driving

A limo around London

And was missing the weekend

Of the Paris crash!

I always wanted to walk

In my grandmothers footsteps

She was one of the first females

On Radio and then did that

Television interview

With the President of the USA

After having the Windsor's

On her program

No one is interested anymore

It is too easy

To get a spot on the news

With no qualifications

Such as this Kimberly Hunt

Who hunted me down

In my days as an adult

Journalist 

And then swooped in 

For the big show

They let her sit anchor

Marry a football player

And have a baby girl

With no issues at all

Now she is over sixty

Looks the same as before

And is acting as if the local

Radio and tv station is hers

Instead of the hard work

Of a few other women 

Who pioneered the idea

Of women knowing the business

But there was not place

For a mother daughter show

Nor a horse and pony show

Either except

On the White house lawn

Or the gardens of France

Wonder what is next?

No more Russia at the UN?

Very prophetic, even Revelational...
