50 Let Pobedy

50 Let Pobedy 

Have you heard the one about the 50 Let Pobedy?

It’s a real icebreaker.

You were sold after that line

commence the fifty years of victory 

a communion as tough as that vessel 

braving the harsh sea;

we are the titans of industry, see 

from Prudhoe Bay 

to the tip of Russia,

Murmansak.

Where we drank Moscow mules

and mulled wine over murmers 

of another vogage, then another -

when we finally retire 

we’ll travel to somewhere warmer

and become a cruise vessel 

for new lovers on exciting adventures.

So know the core of this thing is nuclear 

the product of intensive work

done by a collection of scientists over multiple years. 

Also know that this was what started our universe

and it exists in the middle of stars too.

So have you heard the one about the 50 Let Pobedy?

And its half-a-century of continued excellence?

Heralding the advent of arctic exhibitions, breaking glaciers in half

and how it barley made a sound doing so? 

Author's Note

happy valentines, lovers.
