Finnish Lines

by Chris O’Carroll

The friendship we build at the summit
Will be such a beautiful thing.
As soon as I get to Helsinki,
I’ll be kneeling to kiss Putin’s ring.

They say his spies hacked our election,
But he’s strong, so I’ll give him a pass.
As soon as I get to Helsinki,
I’ll be kneeling to kiss Putin’s ring.

He’s tough. He’s so full of machismo,
He makes my heart beat double quick.
As soon as I get to Helsinki,
I’ll be kneeling to kiss Putin’s ring.
