The Russians came to Tea

 

From behind the Iron Curtain

they came to tea for certain

Serge and Elena for sure

but feeling a little insecure

We were told they would be nervous

but they seemed quite impervious

They beamed comradely smiles

as they had travelled several miles

We avoided the International Situation

and steadfastly the Crimea did not mention

They brought gifts from behind the Steppes

and Elena had difficulty with our door steps

Putin and Trump were kept at bay 

as we had more important things to say

We gave them ice cream as a treat

before they could beat a hasty retreat

We found them as pleasant as could be

and invited them again for sandwiches and tea
