Here is the true reason FAWLAKS was concerned about MIR.

The General's Revenge

Now Fawlaks was a working man
He had the common touch
He knew of matters global
But they did not matter much
He owned a thriving enterprise
The man was not a fool
To beat the heat of summer
He installed a swimming pool

Now one of Fawlaks forebears
The line goes back quite far
Was a casual aquaintance
Of a long forgotten Czar
This Czar had spoken badly
Of a Russian general's mum
The general felt insulted
Revenge was sure to come

In the top floor of the Kremlin
In an office painted bright
Sat a decorated General
A man of power and might
He had vanquished all transgressors
Had defeated friend and foe But there was one last thing he wanted
Before his time to go.

In generations past, it seems
His family story went
Someone had been insulted
By a Czar with bad intent
The general had a mission
To clear the family name
And find the family of the Czar
Who had bought about the shame

He got the KGB to start
A worldwide person search
To try and find a scapegoat
Anywhere on earth
The Czar had no descendents
The line was long gone, dead
So they found that poor old Fawlaks
Should take the blame instead

The General sat and pondered
How he could now avenge
And make our old mate Fawlaks
The victim of revenge
He knew where Fawlaks house was
He would make the lesson hard
He would drive the Russian spacecraft
Right into his backyard

But now we know what happened
And how MIR missed the mark
It landed in the ocean
Watched by flounder, whale and shark
The general left his office
Disgraced, no more to rule
And fawlaks evermore enjoys
His backyard swimming pool.


If someone wants to try and sing this, they are braver than me.
