He saw her photo on the Internet
Wearing a babushka on her head
Golden hair and delft blue eyes
Her lips full and cherry red

She said she wanted just to be
An American girl all her life
Said she was looking for a kind-hearted man
To woo her and make her his wife

She promised true devotion
And a brood of 10 kids or more
She loved to cook and clean
And was willing to do much more!

She said she had a degree in
Nuclear Fusion and Astronomy
That she could pole vault faultlessly
And hoped for Russian autonomy

He sent her money to pay her fare
Wrote sonnets to her many charms
Told all his friends she’d be coming
Into his waiting arms.


Meanwhile in a Russian village:


Zay call me Olga da Porkling
‘cause my fist is big as a ham
no man here vill marry wez me
zay say it’s mean I yam

Ze mudder make me sign up
For American groom you zee
He’ll pay gold to take me avay
Zen my zister get husband for free

Each week my zweetie zend me
Hundred ‘Merican bucks in za mail
I gev it to my mudder to
Keep my brudder outta jail

Zoon it vill be time to go
To live in za land of plenty
I vant to be mud vrestler
Zince I vas young girl of twenty

I may be zirty nine years old
And ugly so my mudder zay
But I know vhat ‘merican men want
Zis Olga know how to play

The meeting:

At half past ten on Saturday
Our hero stood at the gate
For this was the day he’d prayed for
And he hoped her plane wasn’t late

So tall and handsome, was he,
Wearing dockers and a shirt
Anxiously anticipating her
In a tight, leather mini skirt

As the plane emptied, he stared
Looking for his blonde goddess to alit
When all of a sudden he was grabbed
And squeezed uncomfortably tight

Wearing overalls and muddy boots
Was the bride he’s sworn to adore
She smelled like a pigpen and
Must’ve been at least six foot four

Olga smiled at her new hubby
‘zis iz vonderful day for me
ven do we get to do it
‘been vaiting patiently

Our hero paled at this thought
And tried to back away
“come here my lubchink lover
it’s time vor us to play

At that dear Olga drew out a football
Threw it long right then and there
Our hero ran long to catch it
And tripped on someone’s chair

He jumped up and kept running
No one has seen him since
And Olga, poor Russian bride
Was sent back to her hometown of Minsk!


(thanks Maree for asking for this one!)
