Salute to Ukraine and its President 
(With apologies to Lord Macaulay) 
 
Then up spake brave Zelenskyy 
Guardian of Ukraine’s fate 
To all men and women, 
Death commeth soon or late 
And how can one die better 
Than facing fearful odds, 
For the ashes of their fathers 
And the temples of their Gods 
And for the gentle mothers 
Who cradled them to rest 
And for the young wives 
With their babies at the breast 
And for the poor and sick and widows 
For the wounded and the lame 
To save them all from Putin 
Who wrought those deeds of shame
