The choice of candidates is vast
Cash scandals tarnish a few souls
For Right and Left - the die is cast!
In light of Thursday's terror scene
Where one cop's death made headline news
Stepped-up security has been
In evidence among the queues.
The first round or le premier tour
Saw ninepins by the wayside fall;
Marine le Pen and Macron score
A wind of change holds us in thrall!
Traditional parties swept aside
A clean slate or more of the same?
Who's taking who now for a ride?
France buckles under all the strain...
Time to re-group, make new ties
Chassé-croisé all the way
France may be in for a surprise
Dénouement time is - 7th May!
