The European Flying Circus

 

The European Flying Circus

E.U. played their power game

forced their members into shame

now they teeter on the brink

sanctioned Russia, did not think.

Germans fumbled Nord stream two

now they don’t know what to do

sergeant Scholz leads all the sins

of bankrupt leaders in Berlin.

EU members have no gas

sanctions now, it will not pass

poverty will seize them all

one by one their leaders fall.

Europe’s union in defeat

economics in retreat

Von der Leyen holds the crown

shakes the E.U. upside down.

Boris Johnson finally gone

Monty Python got it wrong

twits survive the stupid race

Lizzy Truss now in your face.

Draghi gone in Italy

broken roads to Tripoli

soaring debts now bring the worst

not the last time nor the first.

Spain jumps on the E.U. bus

calls for sanctions on the Rus

Pedro Sanchez sports the lie

acting like some big tough guy.

Energy drives prices high

inflation rockets to the sky

Europe panics, fights within

Poland ready, pulls the pin.

Viktor Orban warns the lot

Hungary will not be bought

continues buying Russian gas

until Christmas, gets a pass.

Macron turns to foreign soil

desperate now for gas and oil

war room maps are under lights

Africa is in their sights.

Unrest mounts on E.U. shores

stoking fires to start wars

global trade has split in two

with Europe looking like a zoo.

Mounting threats from EU crown

Russian leaders won’t back down

didn’t start the stupid war

but they will end it at their door.

Europe’s needs are right next door

no need to bleed anymore

break the contract with U.S.

get yourselves out of their mess.
