I offered to write a custom bad poem; [livejournal.com profile] stevendj said "Yo! Write this!" and put his money where his mouth is. So here it is:

To the Very Great Victory Against the Traitor Counter-Revolutionaries Betraying the Workers of Hungary, 4 November 1956!

'Tis victory won with one great glorious stroke!
The allied Soviet tanks freed Budapest
And deposed Nagy, who from the Worker's cause broke!

Hear the rejoicing of hungry Hungarian folk
At corrupt counter-revolution suppressed:
'Tis victory won with one great glorious stroke!

Rákosi's real errors did did the people provoke,
But his replacement came they soon to detest
And deposed Nagy, who from the Worker's cause broke!

Nagy's mission: the Five-Year Plan to boldly revoke!
He both peasants and proletariat oppressed!
'Tis victory won with one great glorious stroke!

Heroic Huns' voices against their new leaders awoke
Crying, "Fascists financed by the imperialist West!"
And deposed Nagy, who from the Worker's cause broke!

All counter-revolutions on inherent contradictions choke
And when history's prime directive is expressed,
'Tis victory won with one great glorious stroke!

The world's workers will once more spoke:
Kádár, live long and prosper the people request:
'Tis victory won with one great glorious stroke
And deposed the treacherous imperialist no-good lackey Nagy, who from the Worker's true cause broke!!
