Pressing matters in the Ukraine

Three years in,
Fewer Ukrainian males
than Russians

To wage war

You don’t want to fight
No one wants to ruin spleens

You are the few eligible ones not on military leave who go to shake and shout at a patriotic concert — just once budʹ laska

The ruffians press-ganging you guys into service need couches (and places to put ‘em),
winter clothes, space-heaters, upper-body strength,
and four-day vacations.

Just like you.

bud’ laska is please in Ukrainian
