(Half-) Baked Alaska
There’s a summit in Alaska,
With Don and his mate Vlad.
They’re going to talk about Ukraine;
The omens are quite bad.
They’re due to feast on gourmet food;
Their hot thirsts will be slaked,
But any deal that’s hammered out
Is bound to be half-baked.

Thank you, Graham. In a way, the Ukraine war has become business as usual, a sort of lethal stalemate. Trump works best (at least on his terms) when he can bully and blackmail people, which he can't do with Putin. So he may end up by agreeing with him, as he did in previous meetings, which is very dangerous, of course.
And thanks to everyone who liked this poem.
