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.
