I wrote a song. Yeah, it surprised me, too. I’m retired so it’s futile to write to me: “Don’t give up your day job!”OK? It uses another song, but of course the reason was, “everyone should know how to sing this immediately.” so I apologize to the song writers. Imitation being the sincerest form of flattery, and etc.

In the future I think any patriotic song that names places, like “the Halls of Montezuma and the Shores of Tripoli” or “From California to the New York Harbor”, could also have “Goin’ to Kyiv to lay down those wreaths” in it also. Just sayin’. The President goes into a battle zone to support the people fighting for their freedom there, and some people here can’t find enough self-respect, never mind respect for the fallen heroes, to just shut up about it? Shame on them. Everlasting shame on them.

And Oh, My! Some other folks on the other side of the aisle are so jealous of Joe’s Air Raid Stroll, that they sent their own delegation to Kyiv to promise their own military support. It’s getting crowded at the palace. Somewhere in the back of the large crowd, Putin sticks up his hand and yells, “Hey, Yo! Invading Force here! Hey! Hey? Uh…?”

With apologies as needed:

Ridin’ with Biden

Riding that train

Into Ukraine,

Hey you know the Secret Service

watch is keen

Trouble ahead trouble behind

Memories and emotion just fill Joe’s mind

This old engine makes it on time

Leaves Warsaw Station ‘bout quarter to nine,

Hits the Ukraine Border at seventeen to

At quarter to ten you know it’s traveling again.

Riding that train

Into Ukraine,

Hey you know the Secret Service

watch is keen

Trouble ahead trouble behind

Memories and emotion just fill Joe’s mind

Trouble ahead -a MiG from the Reds

Air Raid warning sirens fill the air with screams

Goin’ to Kyiv to lay down those wreaths

Heroes of the battles for Ukraine’s dreams

Riding that train

Into Ukraine,

Hey you know the Secret Service

watch is keen

Trouble ahead trouble behind

Memories and emotion just fill Joe’s mind

Right wingers troll Joe’s Air Raid Stroll

Mr. Putin got two eyes but he can’t see

He comes round again, it could be the end

Glory to the Heroes, Slava Ukraini!

Riding that train

Into Ukraine,

Hey you know the Secret Service

watch is keen

Trouble ahead trouble behind

Memories and emotion just fill Joe’s mind
