I think/believe Ruskis pronounce it like 'Keev,' not 'Key-ev' as we pronounce it.

(3,020 posts)There once was a gal from Kiev
Whose name I remember as "Bev"
She wasn't a spy,
Her promise "OH MY"
We'll snort all the powder we have!
First draft, but damn, you could have set an easier start.

His nurses were cool,
His room very nice
But he yelped,
"You didn't tell me my doctor was Pinboy!"

(3,020 posts)that I would have to come up with a finishing rhyme for "wormany".
And then the terror came. From now 'til forever the sight of a masked surgeon with a scalpel will bring the question "Is it...? Could it be...?" Sometimes, all reasoning aside, "maybe" is not the right answer.
You'll get yours later when we hijack another thread. First I have to leave Kiev unfinished and start fresh writing. Did you ever use eyeliner?
Hope this finds you well. Prost!

(53,339 posts)Rest assured that I'm not stalking you--for the moment. But should I get over your way, you know that I'll definitely look you up. We could even go see your witty NATO friend together.
I hope we didn't set you off on another one of your tangents here. As for me, I think I'll pass on looking up old limericks and figuring out the rhyming.
"Wormany"? Really? LOL!
Raising my glass to you...

(21,046 posts)Charlie used to sell me pills.
Yesterday his sister called me
to tell me he'd been killed
some respectable doctor from Beverly Hills
Shot him through the heart
Charlie didn't feel a thing
Neither of them did
Poor kid
Charlie had to take his medicine
Charlie got his prescription filled
I came to say good bye
I'm sorry Charlie died
