Red Rabbit: A review in haiku

Three hundred pages to explain the rabbit
Another hundred to see rabbit run
But this is not Updike

Back to the Cold War
with bows for Walesa and Wojtyla
Tom Clancy had fun

Would he-man not know
what symphony conductors do?
That sounds Neanderthal

The Jack Ryan background
Mentioned many times
Ex-marine, they keep saying

Honey-blonde hair
Mary Pat in Moscow
a peacock among crows

Stupid Commie overreach
Strong on detail
Andropov was dangerous
