SOCHI AND THE IDES OF MARCH

 
 
Some people are speculating that,
In the light of terrorist threats,
 And the mutual risks to Russia
And the United States
From Islamic extremists - 
 
President Barack Obama
Should attend the Olympic Games in Sochi,
As a grand gesture of courage,
And friendship with Vladimir Putin.
 
Does anyone remember Julius Caesar?
Does anyone remember Wayne and Shuster?
 
" I told him, 'Julie, Don't go!'
   I told him 'Julie, Don't go!' "
 
I tell him ...
 
Those who forget history,
Are doomed to repeat it.
