3-Word Prompt: Pickles, Viable, Death

It is a viable solution
To a tricky, prickly chore:
E.g., to spark revolution
In the masses. What is more,

In this fashion, we’re sidesteppin’
Two great pickles; we avoid
That whole question of the weapon!
That’s a comfort. We’ve annoyed

Our precocious lord and leader,
But I’m confident this time;
Kill the enemy and beat ‘er!
That’s the second pickle. Prime!

Viva, friends, la revolution!
Thank you, comrade, for this fix.
It’s indeed a fine solution,
Cheating death with parlour tricks!
