I fully understand this lament comrade.
I bought my first wife from Belarus, her picture
was not what I got, but then, she did make a good
pilaf. But was it pilaf? No it was pilaf at all.
It was her brother, Pilaf who came to live with us afterward.
Pilaf was a oafish dude who sat around in our squalid apartment playing Donkey Kong whilest Polina never cared to so much as vacuum.
But then again, you got me on that crappy Atari game,
at least Polina was not attractive enough to ever
mess around town, if you know what I mean.
