Topical Acrostic Sonnet
(March, 2025)
 Mriya Neo Bistro

 My culinary hotspot in South Ken
 Regales you with delicious gourmet food
 Inspired by my home country's dishes—when
 You've not proclaimed Ukraine to be the rude
 Aggressor in our war. The USA's
 New president, whose palate seems to lack
 Experience, may have no wish to graze
 On appetizing bryndza for a snack:
 Big Macs are more his style. But should he step
 Inside my bistro, he will not get fed,
 Since I will tell my loyal staff to schlep
 Trump out again for saying what he said
 Re Russia—Mriya Neo Bistro bans
 Offensive rhetoric by Putin fans!
