Scene 1: Coffee Shop
Mr. Putin enters vehemently; and sits opposite to Aunt E.U., who’s sipping Mocha Tall.
Mr. Putin: ‘As if you didn’t know! SS, East India Company, ne’er died!’
Aunt E.U.: ‘OH Putin San! You, Mr. Trump; & your conspiracies-> divine!’
Mr. Putin: ‘But even the hon’ble Pope absolved me; YET, you blame!’
Aunt E.U.: ‘ I’m a single Mother of 27; who savor on modern flames.’
Mr. Putin: ‘Had it not been Sam or Xi SAN, then, where you’ve been?’
Aunt E.U.: ‘Don’t bring my past memories, nor ever my love, in between!’
Mr. Putin: ‘You’re proud of Scandinavian welfare? Less people! No big deal!’
Aunt E.U.: ‘Ain’t less population; but Inclusivity, that makes wounds heal;’
Mr. Putin: ‘Ha Ha Ha! Look at India! What Population, Inclusivity to it, DID!’
Aunt E.U.: ‘I know! I too got worried! YET, I believe to grow where I bloom.’
Mr. Putin: ‘Then why dejected me! When I offered to join NATO back then?’
Aunt E.U.: ‘It’s not me alone, but many stakeholders are present, instead.’
Mr. Putin: ‘If to stop WW-2, it ain’t a sin to drop Nukes! Would it be, if to avoid?’
Aunt E.U.: ‘I end this conversation. It’s up to your judgement, if you get any sign!’ 😊
